Exceptional Student Curriculum (ESC)
特殊学生课程(ESC)的目的是为计算机专业的本科生提供独特的课程，以补充他们的十大网络娱乐平台注册文科教育. In order to be successful taking these offerings, students must have demonstrated sustained academic excellence, be self-motivated, and have strong independent learning skills.
作为ESC的一部分，每学期提供给学生的课程来自本科生课程，这些课程由一名学生和一名CS教员共同设计，并作为Doane指导的研究提供，内容来自外部合作伙伴，包括微软云管理专业课程, IT Support, and Artificial Intelligence tracks, and EdX partners in computer-related areas. Paths to Masters degrees and professional certifications are available.
Special Programs
Computing w/ Honors
学习成绩优异的学生可以选择进入计算机荣誉课程. 学生通常在二年级申请该课程，并且必须得到计算机课程教师的一致批准. Once approved, in addition to completing additional courses, 学生将与一名教师一起完成一项重要的本科研究项目. The undergraduate research is often completed during the summer, and if part of Doane’s larger summer research program, has stipends associated with it.
Special Programs
Three-Year Graduation Program
通过AP或双注册课程获得大量大学学分的学生可能有资格参加计算机专业的三年毕业课程. These students, in conjunction with an advisor in the Computing department, create an academically-intensive three-year schedule, allowing them to complete the four-year degree in three years.
The Doane Difference
Flexibility & Options
The Information Science and Technology Department offers two majors, Computing and Information Systems. 每个课程都包含相同的四门核心课程和相同的两个重点领域(软件开发和信息技术)。. 学生可以在选择一个专业之前探索两个专业，并可以从两个专业中选择一个重点领域.
Technical and Essential Non-Technical Competencies
计算机课程旨在让学生沉浸在经验中，这将使他们获得技术和非技术能力, but mutually essential to be successful in the industry.
