Computer Science
The mission of the Computer Technology Department at Cheverus is to educate students in both applicable computer hardware components and software applications that will enhance and ease their learning in other classes. The goal is to give each student a thorough understanding of basic technology along with a high level of practical skill in the use of that technology. Students are strongly encouraged to complete their computer requirement before the spring semester of their senior year.
