Research
At Wheaton, students are busy searching strings of DNA or Anglo-Saxon in Perl, playing system admin on their own Linux/MacOS/Windows server, hiding surfaces in OpenGL, and building web sites for the local town.
Wheaton's 12 to 1 student-faculty ratio, on-campus help finding intern experiences, and Wheaton's new curriculum highlighting connections among the traditional disciplines provide unique opportunities for undergraduates to do research in computing.
