Department of Computer ScienceGet Involved!
Duke undergraduates have numerous opportunities to gain hands-on project and research experience in Computer Science. A wide range of research projects guided by Duke's world-class faculty engage undergraduates, who often become co-authors on papers in major academic conferences. Undergraduates can pursue independent study courses guided by faculty, participate in the summer research and/or the Identity in Computing Research programs, and graduate with a distinction in research.
