About the Wellesley College and the Computer Science Deparment:

Wellesley College is a highly selective private undergraduate liberal arts college for women that places heavy emphasis on excellence in teaching as well as research. In 2002, Wellesley was ranked as one of the top four liberal arts colleges in the nation by US News and World Report. One of the first liberal arts colleges to establish a separate Computer Science Department, Wellesley remains at the forefront of technological development, and was ranked in 2001 as the third "most wired" small college by Yahoo Internet Life. Located 13 miles west of Boston, Wellesley provides a unique combination of access to a major metropolitan center while retaining a sense of the country by its 500 acre campus, lake, and woodlands.

The Computer Science Department offers both a major and a minor in computer science and supports interdisciplinary programs in media arts and sciences, cognitive science, and neuroscience. The department's seven professors and three laboratory instructors teach a broad range of courses and conduct research using a wide variety of computing platforms (Linux, Macintosh, PC) and programming languages. Departmental resources include laboratories for hardware, multimedia, robotics, networking/security, and computer vision. Cross-registration programs with MIT, Babson, Brandeis, and Olin and proximity to other Boston-area universities and industries dramatically increase the curricular and research resources available to Wellesley's faculty, staff, and students. A four course per year teaching load, a pre-tenure sabbatical leave, and a large pool of intelligent, motivated students are among the factors allowing faculty to focus on both excellence in teaching and high quality in research.
