The CS department seeks to provide students with a strong foundational background blending experimentation, theory and design. Our graduates are equally well-prepared for work in industry and graduate school.
The capstone Clinic Program provides students with a year-long software design project and our active research program involves approximately 50 students in research, funded by grants and gifts from the National Science Foundation, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Rose-Hills and Baker Foundations.

“The Department of Computer Science at Harvey Mudd actively fosters a departmental environment that invites and welcomes all. Students in our program gain both intellectual depth and breadth in CS, experience with programming and the ability to apply computational thinking to pressing problems.”
DEPARTMENT CHAIR JIM BOERKOEL
A PhD student in computer science and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University, Donti is working at the intersection of machine learning, electric power systems and climate change mitigation. In 2021, she made MIT Technology Review’s prestigious annual list of Innovators Under 35 as a 2021 Visionary, among those “looking to the future of quantum computing, energy policy, robotics and more.”
