Our department offers an ABET accredited B.S. In Computer Science as well as a more flexible B.A. in Computer Science. We also support Loyola’s undergraduate and masters-level Data Science programs, and interdisciplinary majors across campus. We graduate 25-30 computer science majors each year.

Candidates in all areas of specialization will be considered. We are particularly interested in applicants with an interest in teaching first- and second-year students, computer science theory courses, or data science courses.
