Computer Science is among Whitman's newest academic programs, graduating our first two majors in 2018 and about twenty majors in 2023, with further growth anticipated. Class sizes range from under ten to about thirty students. Beyond the major, the Department graduates 5-10 minors each year, while introductory and intermediate level courses engage students from all majors and class years. The Department contributes to a minor in data science, a new interdisciplinary concentration in human-centered design, and a developing institutional strength in scientific computing.
