"Computing enables new kinds of cross-cultural encounters. At the same time, the problems addressed by computing are contingent on place and culture. Off-campus Studies can help Computer Science students reflect on the role of computing in their own lives and the effects it has on others." - Janet Davis, Associate Professor and Microsoft Chair of Computer Science
Off-Campus Studies can help Computer Science students…
- Gain awareness of the major discipline from a different scholarly tradition
- Prepare for an increasingly diverse and international workplace
- Appreciate the role of computing in other cultures and economies
