I'm a high school junior planning to apply to Christian colleges next year. Specifically, I'm interested in computer science and want to stay in the Midwest. What are some good options?
One excellent Christian college in the Midwest that offers a strong computer science program is Wheaton College in Illinois. The college not only offers a Bachelor degree in computer science, but also has opportunities for students to collaborate with faculty on research initiatives.
Another school to consider is Calvin University in Michigan. The computer science program at Calvin is robust, allowing students to gain everything from foundational coding skills to complex computational thinking. It's also associated with the university's engineering department, providing potential interdisciplinary opportunities.
Even though it's a bit smaller, Taylor University in Indiana is known for its quality computer science program as well, and has received high rankings for overall undergraduate teaching.
Of course, the best fit for you will also depend on elements outside of the academic program, such as the campus culture, the size of the student body, and the cost of tuition, among other factors. Be sure to research each school thoroughly to see which aligns best with your personal and academic objectives.
