Computer Science is More Relevant Than Ever
Everyone's talking about AI — but who's actually building it?
Computer scientists are the ones designing the algorithms, training the models, securing the networks, designing the data centers, and solving the hard problems that make artificial intelligence and “smart” tools possible. If you want to be more than a user of tomorrow's technology — if you want to be an expert and a creator— a Computer Science (CS) degree puts you at the center of the most important shift of this generation.
A CS degree doesn't lock you into one narrow job; it hands you the fundamentals to move between roles as technology keeps changing. Although AI is CS, CS is more than AI. The next wave of "technological wonders" won't build itself — it needs people who can think critically, not just use the tools others built.
Outcomes
A degree in computer science prepares you for a variety of professional pathways and careers.
Entry-level salaries for computer scientistis with undergraduate degrees averages $88,000 annually.
Strong growth in computer science and information research scientist jobs until 2034, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Many industries in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area are hiring computer science graduates.
The majority of Loyola computer science graduates have completed an internship or summer research experience as part of their undergraduate studies.
Student, Computer Science
I was able to grow as a person, as a student, and have made good friends. I've become more aware of the world around me and conscious of other people's perspectives.
Student, Computer Science
I use critical thinking much more than before computer science. I am often always thinking about the logic or design of many programs that I use everyday. I also think about more ways I can solve a problem.
