Computer Science Major

FLC’s Computer Science Program is a four year program of study. In the first year, students learn website design, game design, electronic music processing, and fundamental concepts of computer science. The second-year course is a project-based course focusing on programming in Python and JavaScript, and on using those languages to introduce fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and discrete math. In their third and fourth years computer science majors will have the opportunity to deepen their exploration of those fields, and to take one or more Advanced Placement courses.
