Computers have transformed the end of the 20th century into the “New Information Age.” The impact of technology in creating a global information culture rivals that of the development of the printing press. The computer science major addresses crucial information issues that extend beyond the “nuts and bolts” of traditional computer science programs. Students choosing computer studies at Clark examine the progress and problems of a revolution in software design and engineering; they learn to assess and create options in “networking” fields—the fastest growing area of hardware and software development. They also examine the implications of computer-mediated communication. Computer science majors are encouraged to develop a sound understanding of international cultures as the concept of the “global village” becomes a reality through technology and telecommunication.
