A University-Wide Effort
The School of Computing will serve as an umbrella for the entire university, embedding computational education, power, literacy and evolving technologies throughout academic experiences.
Unlike a traditional academic department, the School of Computing transcends college boundaries, bringing together faculty across 14 departments within the Colleges of Engineering, Arts and Sciences, Business and Economics, Education, Health Sciences and Innovation and Design, as well as the School of Public Service who are active in computing education and research.
Through this interdisciplinary approach, Boise State will serve as an institution that better understands how the world is fundamentally shaped by technology and its reliance on advancements in computation. As the school works to deepen the core understanding of computation, its capacities and the impact of computation across disciplines and beyond, the school is also working to understand the impact these innovations have on society, the economy and the environment.
By understanding the societal impacts that computing can have, Boise State will better understand how computing technologies can be designed and utilized to maximize benefits for individuals and across society as a whole.
