Prepare for the technologies of the future with a foundation in software development and web design.
The mission of the Computer Science program at Madonna University is to promote intellectual growth by providing students with a sound foundation in both applied and theoretical computer science concepts, preparing them for the constantly changing technologies of the future.
With small class sizes, students interact directly with faculty who teach from real-world computer science experience. Students are challenged and stimulated by several courses in software development and web design and have the opportunity to gain work experience through cooperative opportunities. Students are required to meet with their Computer Science faculty advisor multiple times a year to ensure they are on track for graduation.
Alumni of the Computer Science program have pursued graduate degrees and others have careers in highly regarded technology companies.
Computer science is a broad discipline that deals with the analysis, design and synthesis of computer systems and their applications. Computer scientists develop the programs that run computers, from the small ones in your pocket to the large ones on space shuttles and Mars rovers.
A wide array of areas utilize computer scientists among them the entertainment industry, engineering, government, medicine, manufacturing, science, space exploration, education and communication. From its theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge developments in robotics, computer vision, intelligent systems, bioinformatics and other exciting areas, a comprehensive foundation in computer science allows graduates to adapt to new technologies and new ideas. Computer scientists solve complex problems in order to make the world a better place.
Madonna University's Computer Science program equips students with the technical skills and problem-solving abilities to excel in today's digital age. Our graduates are prepared for a wide range of high-demand careers, including:
Our alumni have secured positions at leading tech companies such as:
Sarmad is a cloud data solution architect at Microsoft Corporation in the Microsoft Technology Center in Southfield, Mich., where he leads executive briefings, architecture design decisions, proof of concepts and hands-on workshops with Microsoft’s largest customers.
Since graduating from Madonna University, Istephan continued his education by completing a master’s degree and PhD in computer science.
“As a student at Madonna, you get a strong sense that all faculty and staff are there to help you succeed. It is easy to gain practical job experience by working as a student in various career related jobs across campus.”
The Applied AI program focuses specifically on the practical and ethical application of AI technologies, going beyond the general CS curriculum. While a standard Computer Science degree provides broad computing foundations, this program delves into specialized topics like predictive and prescriptive modeling, multiagent coordination, hyperparameter optimization, and LLM deployment. This prepares students for specific, high-demand roles – including the 5,123 unique AI Engineer postings active in February 2026 alone.
