Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and History

DePaul University

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science plus History (CS plus HST) combines two distinct fields into one single program. Students in the program will be trained, in parallel, in history and historical methods and in computer science and software development. That means that they will graduate with the hard technical skills of a computer scientist and the writing, research, and presentation skills of a historian, making CS plus HST graduates highly valuable in any context. Students can use these skills to be better, more socially-aware programmers and better, more technologically-aware historians. They can follow the traditional path of history majors (lawyer, teacher, historian, archivist, librarian, writer, politician, rock star), go into software engineering, or combine the two through software development, digitization, digital archives, and historic preservation.
