Computational Science Center

Welcome to the CSC

The Vagelos Computational Science Center (CSC) is dedicated to enhancing computational skills and digital literacy across disciplines. We lower the barrier of entry into computing for the Barnard community and beyond. Interested in collaborating with us? Reach out to us at csc@barnard.edu!

Participate & Engage

We host educational and social events open to the entire Barnard community. Our workshops are open to people from all fields who are curious about learning new programming languages and applications of computing in varying contexts, including working with data, web development and accessibility, interactive visualizations, and machine learning. Our social events create a sense of community for students, staff and faculty interested in computational science.
