Details
The Yale Computer Science Career Fair will be held on September 20th, 2024 from 1-3PM at the Old Refectory, inside the Yale Divinity School (409 Prospect Street). Students will drop in throughout the event to engage in conversations about opportunities at your organization, questions on how to apply, and much more. Each employer representative receives a six-foot table with space to display your organization’s promotional items if you have them. There will be an opportunity to send items ahead of time if you choose; we will send instructions on how to do so to registered employers two weeks before the event date.

About Yale Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science was founded by people who had a vision. This vision was how computer science would fit into the unique spirit of Yale University, an institution oriented to an unusual degree around undergraduate education and close interdepartmental collaboration. The Department has always had close ties to mathematics and engineering, but has increasingly experienced collaborations with other disciplines important to Yale, including psychology, linguistics, economics, business, statistics, music, medicine, physics and more. It is through these collaborations that the importance of computer science in a broader sense is best appreciated - bridging the humanities and sciences to solve complex problems.
Today, The Department of Computer Science is home to over 950 students (~800 undergrad, ~150 MS/PhD), with nearly 50 tenure-track and lecturer faculty. The department has several primary research areas, including:
- Algorithms and Complexity Theory
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Computer Architecture
- Computer Graphics
- Computer Music
- Computer Networks
- Database Systems
- Distributed Computing
- Natural Language Processing
- Operating Systems
- Programming Languages and Compilers
- Quantum Computing
- Robotics
- Scientific Computing and Applied Math
- Security and Cryptography
- Societal and Humanistic Aspects of Computation
Our department has over 800 undergraduates and 184 graduate students as of AY 24.
