Prepared For Anything
"The internship experiences within the Math and Computer Science program have provided me with a deeper understanding of professionalism and how my skills align within that setting."
Internships And Gobal Experiences
Study Abroad Opportunities
Take your math and computer science studies to the next level with programs like BSME (Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Education) and BSM (Budapest Semesters in Mathematics), where you can experience renowned Hungarian teaching methods firsthand. From Maymester and semester-long programs to summer experiences like Duquesne in Rome and Duquesne in Dublin—offer study abroad programs offer fresh perspectives to enhance your major and professional impact.
Internships and Career Preparation
The department partners with a wide range of organizations—such as Highmark, Lockheed Martin, PNC, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, UPMC, Oracle, and the U.S. Department of State—giving students access to diverse, real-world opportunities. You will translate your classroom learning into practical experience and prepare for a successful career, with support from the Center for Career Development, which helps students and alumni explore careers, connect with employers, and develop professional and job-search skills through programs, events, and one-on-one counseling.
Each summer, you can take part in Duquesne's 10-week Undergraduate Research Program
(URP), where you'll conduct hands-on research on funded projects supported by government
agencies, non-profit organizations and corporate foundations. These projects often
extend beyond campus to include partnerships with experts from major research institutions
and industry. The Computer Science Club offers students a platform to enhance their understanding
of computer science through engaging extracurricular activities. Students participate
in hackathons, competitions, and informative workshops led by industry professionals. The D.U.Quark is a dynamic student-run scientific publication and a proud part of
our vibrant campus Publication Board. Whether you're a seasoned science major or exploring
a different field, you're invited to join a community where students take the editorial
reins. Dive into science communication, gain hands-on experience, and sharpen your
skills in writing, editing, and publishing – all while making your mark in the world
of science and health. Pi Mu Epsilon stands as a distinguished math honor society committed to the advancement
of mathematics and the acknowledgment of students who excel in the pursuit of mathematical
mastery. SoSE offers a diverse range of clubs and organizations open to ALL students, welcoming
individuals of every background and identity who are interested in the fields of science
and engineering. With guidance from faculty advisors and staff, you'll have the opportunity
to connect with peers who share your interests, organize events, and make a positive
impact in your community.Summer Undergraduate Research Program
