Why Study Computer Science or
Software Engineering?
These disciplines are an excellent choice for
students who enjoy problem-solving and are
good at mathematics and the sciences. Good
communication skills are also a plus, as this
type of work is typically done in small groups
or as part of a team. Computers and software
have become essential tools in all disciplines, so
you can pair the study of computer science or
software engineering with a major or minor in
any other area of study, including the sciences,
business, fine arts, or the humanities.
Employment prospects in computer science
and software engineering are excellent.
Why Study Computer Science or
Software Engineering at Butler?
There are several reasons we feel our
programs are distinctive:
• Our Engineering Projects in Community
Service (EPICS) program combines
service-learning with the practice of
software engineering; student-run teams
develop software for charity and non-profit
clients,
• Our supercomputer is available for student
research projects, with possible support
available through the Honors Program
and the Butler Summer Institute,
• Our students learn parallel programming
theory and techniques both in the
freshman-level CS142 course and in the
junior/senior level CS452 course,
• Most of our students add a second major or
minor program and still graduate on time,
• Quality internships and part-time jobs are
plentiful in the Indianapolis area,
• And our alumni advisory board is active
and engaged, not only mentoring our
students and visiting for pizza lunches
with our students, but also advising the
department on curriculum and career
preparation.
Our software engineering program prepares
students for professional careers as software system
designers, developers, testers, maintainers,
and project managers. Our computer science
program is more broad-based, and prepares
students not only for a variety of careers in
the computing disciplines, such as systems or
database administration and web development,
but also for graduate study either in computer
