NNU computer science majors are required to complete a senior research project. This requirement has been highly praised by employers of NNU graduates.
Graduate John Donaldson who attended the Naval Postgraduate School and now works for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory said, “When I’ve talked to my program managers [at the Naval Postgraduate School] who have worked with NNU students in the past, they like the fact that in our computer science program we are required to produce a senior project and thesis which a lot of other schools don’t require.”
Math and computer science faculty are researching as well as maintaining and improving the department’s labs and equipment.
