Leading the Way
In 1961, the University of Dayton became one of the first schools in the country to develop an undergraduate program in Computer Science. Our program, course offerings and facilities have grown with the times but we still maintain strong student to faculty relationships and provide individualized attention to our students.

New Facilities Slated to Open in 2021
The Department of Computer Science will relocate during the 2020-21 academic year to a newly renovated facility in the former Music and Theatre Building. The 58,000-square-foot project will include new classroom, laboratory and office spaces, as well as an enclosed walkway to connect the facility to Kettering Labs. Levin Porter Architects of Miamisburg designed the facility; Sidney-based Ferguson Construction Co. will oversee construction. The new space is expected to be occupied in January 2021.
