Overview
Whether you’re using an app or website, checking your email, or making a phone call, technology touches nearly every part of daily life.
A Computer Science degree from UW-Superior prepares you for a wide range of opportunities in our technology-driven world. You’ll learn from experienced instructors who specialize in embedded programming, software development, and modern computing systems—bringing real-world insight into every class.
Students gain practical experience using the architecture of ARM microcontrollers and develop the programming and problem-solving skills that form the foundation of today’s tech careers.
You can complete your Computer Science major on campus in Wisconsin or earn your degree entirely online, giving you the flexibility to study from anywhere while receiving the same high-quality instruction and support.
The on-campus comprehensive major does not require a minor, while the online and on-campus non-comprehensive majors do.
Gain Real-World Experience
In your senior capstone course, you’ll collaborate with real companies to design and implement practical computing solutions—developing the teamwork and technical experience employers value.
Internship Opportunities
Our faculty and career services team help connect students with local, regional, and national internships, giving you the opportunity to gain hands-on professional experience before graduation.
State-of-the-Art Computer Labs
As a UW-Superior student, you’ll have access to modern computer labs and dedicated servers designed for programming, networking, and system development.
The value I get from my education at UWS is like nowhere else. With two majors in Computer Science and Environmental Studies (interdisciplinary studies) along with two certificates in Sustainable Enterprise and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I receive a quality education at half the cost of many other 4-year programs. Not only that, but the on-campus job opportunities allow me to get real experience in my fields of interest, which would be harder to get at larger schools.
The staff and faculty at UWS are really welcoming. I would recommend UWS to other international and domestic students. There are lots of scholarships available, too. And the university has a good, strong computer science program.
The best aspect of the UWS Math Department for me personally has been the professors. They are not only knowledgeable, but also cordial. This has allowed me to form a personal rapport with each of my professors, which helped tremendously in my studies.
One of the best aspects of this program has been the supportive environment, including faculty and staff. When I started, I didn’t have much experience in computer science, so I always had a lot of questions. My professors at always answered them patiently no matter what.
