Computer & Data Science

Harness the power of technology for good

With their immense power and potential, computers and data should serve people. Too often the reverse is true. As a Christian college, we believe it’s critical for technology professionals to be both technically excellent and ethically motivated.

At Gordon we want to help you shape the computers and data that drive our world for good. Our faculty layer years of industry and academic experience with a firm faith foundation and foster opportunities for experiential learning to equip you for excellence as you confidently steward technology to serve others and solve problems.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better college experience . . . Gordon equipped me to think deeply about integrating my faith into every aspect of my life. To put it simply, my time at Gordon was life-changing, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities I have been blessed with as a result."
