BA Computer Science and History

at Lewis University

The Department of Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences and Department of History are excited to offer a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary program that allows students to integrate two distinct areas of focus - Computer Science and History (CS+History).

Archival materials from places like the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and depositories around the world now have collections available to the general public thanks to advances in technology. Maps, which are essential to the study of history, have been digitized to become interactive, allowing individuals to explore changes over time on topics ranging from population growth and decline to the rise and collapse of empires and civilizations. Digital games are excellent ways for students to develop “historical thinking,” and educational publishing houses increasingly add digitized elements to online text for history courses.
