Cardozo’s Computer Science (CS) program is about unleashing the problem-solving superpowers of the next generation. We equip students with the versatility to tackle any challenge by exposing them to a vast arsenal of programming languages and paradigms. Rather than teach one language or method that is “best” we steer our students to become masters at wielding the perfect tool for the job. Whether you're a total beginner or a coding wiz, Cardozo will challenge your perspective. We go beyond the code itself, showing how CS is the secret sauce to innovation across every field. We don't just teach, we empower. Every course culminates in a passion project – a chance to build something remarkable and truly own your learning. This isn't just a CS program, it's a springboard to the future.
