The study of computing ranges from hands-on applications to pure theory, and includes the analysis of algorithms, the study of computer architectures, compilers and operating systems, networks, and software engineering. Introductory computer science courses offer an overview of programming skills, the use and application of popular software, and the essentials of computing. The Mount Allison computer science program as a whole is designed to combine theoretical and practical computer science with deeper study of specialized areas, such as theory of computation, cryptography, artificial intelligence, databases, computer graphics, networks, software and hardware design
