工程学理学学士-计算机科学

计算在现代生活中无处不在，无论是像在社交网络上结识朋友一样平凡，还是像天气预报一样复杂。从根本上讲，从音乐创作到药物设计，计算思维已经引发了各种各样的问题。普林斯顿大学的计算机科学系在计算机科学的核心领域以及一系列应用和跨学科领域提供本科课程。由于计算思维非常重要，因此我们希望为每个普林斯顿大学的本科生提供至少一门计算机科学课程。由于计算机科学领域的主题广泛且本科生兴趣各不相同，因此学生可以通过AB或BSE学位课程攻读计算机科学专业。我们是大学中唯一拥有这种灵活性的系。除了少量核心课程外，学生还可以在一个
Computing is everywhere in modern life, whether it be as mundane as checking friends on a social network or as sophisticated as weather forecasting. More fundamentally, computational thinking has contributed to a broad spectrum of problems, from music composition to drug design. The computer science department at Princeton offers undergraduates courses in the core areas of computer science and in an array of application and interdisciplinary areas. Because computational thinking is so important, we want to provide every Princeton undergraduate with at least one course in computer science. Because of the broad range of topics within computer science and the diverse interests of undergraduates, students may major in computer science through either the A.B. or B.S.E. degree program. We are the only department in the university with this flexibility. Beyond a small core set of courses, students are free to design their own program within a framework that insures in-depth exposure to algorithms and theoretical computer science, computer system design, and applications. Another important aspect of the curriculum is independent work. Each student does at least one design or research project advised by a member of the faculty. This gives students the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research or entrepreneurial product design. Many projects are interdisciplinary. For students who would like to study computer science in earnest, but secondary to another discipline, we also offer the Certificate Program in Applications of Computing.
