The UW-Eau Claire computer science program is both regionally and nationally recognized. Our CS program is ABET-CAC accredited, and we have received several National Science Foundation (NSF) grants in support of our innovative curriculum over the past ten years.
What makes our program so highly regarded? Our program is demanding, but focused and practical. If you seek a computer science education that will teach you the fundamentals as well as the practical applications of computing; if you seek an education that...
