Computer Science at St. Olaf
St. Olaf Computer Science (CS) is on the move! We have beautiful teaching spaces in the new Regents Hall "Link", a growing curriculum, and opportunities ranging from a breadth-first introduction to advanced interdisciplinary team projects, including the ongoing Beowulf clusters and the Palantir team. Combined with St. Olaf's approach to the liberal arts and any other interests or major one may have, the thinking skills, ethical analysis, empowering concepts and learning experiences offered by CS courses prepare students to make lifelong contributions to the twenty-first century world, whether in computing-related areas or in fields not usually associated with computing.
