Shape the Future! Consider Computing at UVM!
Chair's Welcome
This is an amazing time to go into computing, with unprecedented opportunities. Computers are a ubiquitous and
growing presence in all aspects of modern society, and thus there is
huge and increasing demand
for computing professionals that is
far from being met
by the profile of today's graduates.
This is why unemployment is near zero for Computing Professionals who want to work, and Computing Professionals
earn some of the
highest salaries in the U.S. But it's not just the money and jobs that make Computing such an exciting profession - Computing-related careers are some of the most versatile, creative, and satisfying career choices you can make, and computational thinking and skills are valuable complements to virtually all other career areas.
