About 25 miles to the east is the Dahlgren Naval base, which hires many students into technology roles. About 30 miles to the north is Culpeper, VA, home to technology companies such as SWIFT, one of the world’s largest telebanking companies.

We also have several part-time adjunct instructors who are employed full-time in the field and share their experience by teaching with us. At UMW, our classes are taught by experts who love teaching, not graduate students. Also, because we do not have graduate students in computer science, you will have the chance to work on research projects with a faculty member.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location – <\/strong>UMW is in Fredericksburg, VA, about 45 miles south of Washington, D.C. That means there are great internship and job openings at many government agencies, such as the FBI, and private companies, such as MITRE and General Dynamics. About 25 miles to the east is the Dahlgren Naval base, which hires many students into technology roles. About 30 miles to the north is Culpeper, VA, home to technology companies such as SWIFT, one of the world’s largest telebanking companies. So, while Fredericksburg offers a small-town feel, there are incredible job opportunities outside town. Virtually all of our students are gainfully employed soon after completing their degree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" src=\"http:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall-1024x634.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37864\" style=\"width:317px;height:auto\" srcset=\"\/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall-1024x634.jpg 1024w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall-300x186.jpg 300w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall-768x476.jpg 768w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall-1536x952.jpg 1536w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall-2048x1269.jpg 2048w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall-250x155.jpg 250w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/computerscience\/files\/2024\/09\/farmerHall-1140x706.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Norm Shafer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"umw-collapsible-section umw-custom-block\"><div class=\"accordion__question\" data-js-question=\"true\"><button class=\"accordion__question__trigger\" data-js-trigger=\"true\">Computer Science Major<\/button><div class=\"accordion__question__answer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Want to write cutting-edge software?

Are there Labs Where I Can Work?<\/button><div class=\"accordion__question__answer\">\n<p>Most of our students have laptops, which are helpful for their college careers and for transporting their CS work around with them. However, laptops are not required. We have a lab in the basement of James Farmer Hall.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"umw-collapsible-section umw-custom-block\"><div class=\"accordion__question\" data-js-question=\"true\"><button class=\"accordion__question__trigger\" data-js-trigger=\"true\">Will I Be Able To Double Major or Obtain a Minor<\/button><div class=\"accordion__question__answer\">\n<p>Absolutely! The CS Curriculum is around 44-48 credits. Your GenEd requirements include 30 – 40 credits, giving you 32-46 credits toward a second major, a minor, or your exploration through the Liberal Arts. There probably won’t be another time in your life when you’ll have such access to explore a wide variety of disciplines: this is the advantage of a Liberal Arts degree! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Computer Scientists are in such demand in the job market that there isn’t pressure from the workforce to have a particular second major or minor, so I encourage you to think about what could round out your ability to apply CS to your future career. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"umw-collapsible-section umw-custom-block\"><div class=\"accordion__question\" data-js-question=\"true\"><button class=\"accordion__question__trigger\" data-js-trigger=\"true\">How do I Get Help Outside of Class? Are Faculty Available to Help Me?<\/button><div class=\"accordion__question__answer\">\n<p>Help outside of class comes in three forms: lab aides, peer tutoring via academic services (free), and professors’ office hours. Currently, all CPSC 220 have a dedicated lab aide with specific hours to help that section. Sign up for<a href=\"https:\/\/academics.umw.edu\/academicservices\/appointments-2\/\"> peer tutoring<\/a> for CPSC 110, 220, or 240. Our professors typically have at least five office hours each week for their classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a nice thing to note is our open-door culture in the department, where professors typically open their doors to interact with and help students outside of officially posted hours! It\u2019s common to see a professor assisting a student who isn\u2019t in their class.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"umw-collapsible-section umw-custom-block\"><div class=\"accordion__question\" data-js-question=\"true\"><button class=\"accordion__question__trigger\" data-js-trigger=\"true\">As an Incoming Freshman CS Major, What Should I Do to Prepare?<\/button><div class=\"accordion__question__answer\">\n<p>Generally, students who enjoy coding more and want to work as software developers should consider majoring in computer science. Students who prefer cybersecurity topics and want to work as cyber analysts should consider a cybersecurity major. However, the coursework for the first one or two years is the same as that for computer science and cybersecurity. So students do not need to pick between the two majors right away. By the time you are at the point where the majors diverge, you will have a good sense of which of the two is proper for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students with little or no programming experience should select <strong>CPSC 110<\/strong> as their first CPSC course.

They were arrived at based on a strong census from the entire CPSC faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that all of the rules below apply to <b>all CPSC courses, unless explicitly overridden by the instructor in writing<\/b>. (“in writing” means, for instance, in the class syllabus, or a Canvas announcement, or an email from the instructor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Provide the honor pledge<\/b>. All assignments, unless your instructor writes otherwise, must be accompanied by the honor pledge in some form. Your instructor will specify how to do this: typing it in code comments, writing it by hand and submitting it separately, entering it into Canvas when you submit your assignment, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>You must write all programs yourself (without help from others or from websites), unless specified.<\/b> There are several team-oriented courses in our curriculum, and of course you will be allowed to work with other students on your team for those. Your instructor will explicitly identify those, however. In the absence of any specific instruction, you are <i>not<\/i> to communicate to others in any way about your assignments. You are also <i>not<\/i> to get code for your projects from Google, StackOverflow, Chegg, YouTube, or any other website unless permitted in writing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Do not share your code with other students<\/b>, either this semester, or in any future semester. Remember that <i>giving<\/i> unauthorized help violates the Honor Code just as much as <i>receiving<\/i> unauthorized help does.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Do not post your code or class materials anywhere.<\/b> You may not upload your solutions to any publicly-available website, post part of your solution on StackOverflow or any similar site, or post assignments\/notes\/etc from the course, even if they were instructor-authored materials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Explicitly cite any sources you use.<\/b>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i>If<\/i> your instructor states in writing that you are allowed to work with other students, you <i>must<\/i> indicate on your submission the names of your collaborators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i>If<\/i> your instructor allows you to use Google, StackOverflow, or any other electronic source, you <i>must<\/i> indicate on your submission the source and scope of the assistance you received. Individual instructors will give specific directions on how to do that; it might be creating a code comment that contains the URL and a synopsis of the code you used, for example.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Do not look at solutions from previous semesters.<\/b> Professors evolve and reuse assignments over many years in order to perfect them. If someone does leave their code (or other materials) lying around from a previous offering of the course, you may <i>not<\/i> look at them when completing your own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Be prepared to explain anything you submit.<\/b> Your instructor may, at any time, call you in to his\/her office to explain any part of your program. You will be expected to convincingly walk him\/her through your code, demonstrating your thought process behind it. If you cannot, this may be considered an Honor Code violation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>When in doubt, ask your instructor what constitutes plagiarism.<\/b> If you’re not sure whether you need to cite a source for a quotation in a paper, or list the URL of a website from which you got some code, <i>ask<\/i>. If you do not ask, and the instructor deems it to be unauthorized help, this may be considered an Honor Code violation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Automated plagiarism detection tools may be used.<\/b> Be forewarned that there are smart tools out there (like Stanford’s “Moss,” to name just one example) that can detect when two programs are so alike that rote copying must have occurred. These tools are clever enough not to be fooled by superficial changes, like adding white space or changing variable names.
