Andrea Hornblower

"An opportunity like this never would have come available to me if I had not taken the program in the Sault College/LSSU International Division," Hornblower said. "My employer was very impressed with the fact that I not only had a degree in computer networking, but the hands-on knowledge, as well. This is the main reason that I was hired."

Computer Science

It’s difficult to find any aspect of our lives that hasn’t been touched, in some way, by computer technology. Correspondingly, there are a multitude of paths that can be followed by an individual who is pursuing a computer-oriented career path.

Many Options

Degrees

LSSU offers several options for a student interested in the study of computer science, including a traditional computer science major, along with programs that focus on network hardware and software support and development, business-oriented applications, and computational mathematics, as well as a program leading to secondary education certification in computer science.

The Computer and Mathematical Sciences program provides a solid background in both mathematics and computer science. Many graduates from this program who work in the computer industry have stressed that the mathematics foundation gained from this degree gave them a distinct advantage in the work place.
