The Computer Science division at Marshall University is housed in the 155,000 sq. ft. Weisberg Applied Engineering Complex, which contains multiple state-of-the-art computer labs for research and learning activities. The complex also has dedicated collaborative workstations right outside faculty offices to facilitate student and faculty interaction. Computer Science majors have access to a computer graphics lab, a cybersecurity lab, and a project studio to produce high-quality software products for various real-world projects with industry and government partners.

Computer Science majors regularly work with faculty on their research projects. They also work alone or in groups to create unique projects to assist in a variety of fields, such as medical, sports, mapping and security. Many have the opportunity to present their research in notable settings, such as West Virginia Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol, the Eastern Kentucky University Mathematics and Computer Science Annual Symposium, the Computer Science Symposium on Emerging Technologies, the Super Computing Conference Series, the Association for Computing Machinery Conference and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Conference.

Computer Science majors at Marshall University prepare for top careers by participating in various internship and research activities both in West Virginia and nationally. Examples include: CBS Interactive, Fox Sports, JP Morgan Chase Leadership Development Program, the West Virginia Governor’s Office, the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates and the NASA Undergraduate Research Fellowship.
