Welcome to the Computer Science Department. We are in our 26th year as an independent department. We offer both a B.S. and a B.A. degree in computer science. The B.S. program has been accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) since 1990. Browse our web pages to learn more about our department and the people that make it unique.

Master's Programs

The Computer Science Department's graduate offerings feature a Master of Science in Computer Science and a Master of Science in Software Engineering. Courses are held at the state-of-art Timonium and Columbia Graduate Centers. Find out more by clicking the link below.

• Computational Linguistics Corpus Now Available

  The Computer-Mediated Communication Corpus is now available for download by researchers in the computational linguistics and data mining communities. The corpus consists of over 900 text samples of subjects' opinions on six pre-selected topics in each of six media: blog, chat, live discussion group, email, essay, and phone interview. Collection of the corpus was supported by an NSF grant under the direction of PI Roberta Sabin of the CS Department. Go to cmccorpus.cs.loyola.edu to learn more and register to download the corpus.

• Why Choose Computer Science?

  Why do undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty choose computer science & engineering as their field? What takes place during a day in the life of a Computer Science alum working in the software or Internet industry?

  Two videos from University of Washington Computer Science & Engineering address these questions. Take a look!

  Saturday, February 21st - Gala CS Department 25th Anniversary Celebration.

  2008

  Wednesday, November 12th - Dr. James Glenn of Loyola College presented his talk, "Retrograde Analysis for Can't Stop." The talk was excellent and we all know a little bit more about games. This talk was sponsored by Loyola's ACM.

  Friday, October 31st - Dr. Jonathan Shapiro shared his thoughts about technology start-ups. As part of the Science Seminar Series, the talk gave great incite into the world of venture capital and the ins and outs of start-up companies. Thanks to Loyola's ACM, the Computer Science Department, and the Science Seminar Series for sponsoring the event.

  Monday, October 27th - Dr. Jonathan Shapiro presented his talk "BitC: A Safe Systems Programming Language". The talk was a great technical talk about high confidence system programming. This talk was sponsored by Loyola's ACM and the Computer Science Department. Much thanks to Jonathan Shapiro for giving up his time to visit Loyola College, twice!

  Friday, October 10th - Dr. David Binkley gave a talk entitled "Impact of Limited Memory Resources". The talk was interesting and very well attended. Students at all levels understood and enjoyed the talk. Thanks to Loyola's ACM for sponsoring the talk.

  Wednesday, September 17th - CS Majors, Minors, and Professors enjoyed the annual "Computer Science Welcome Back Picnic". Located on the grass between Donnely Science and Knott Hall, the picnic was a lot of fun and a good number of students showed up. George cooked burgers and hot dogs while the rest of us ate them (and boy were they good!). Much thanks to Dr. Binkley, who did most of the organizing.
