Comp Sci Hybrid Event

The Computer Science Program will welcome its inaugural class this September. Designed to be leading edge, nimble, and able to rapidly evolve, the program will be uniquely Cooper and will ultimately lead to the degree of a Bachelor of Science. It will be closely aligned with the mission and reputation of the school and will interface closely with the other programs at The Cooper Union. In this presentation, professor of electrical engineering Sam Keene, the inaugural chair of the Computer Science program, will give an overview of the new major.
