Research for Both Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Research in computer science and mathematics is a core part of an Adelphi education. Our faculty are active researchers whose work spans fields such as human-computer interaction, augmented and virtual reality, cybersecurity and data privacy, computer ethics, multimedia and game development, abstract algebra, data-driven analytics and computational methods. Students have opportunities to collaborate with faculty-led research groups beginning in their first year.
As a mathematics or computer science student researcher, you may:
- Explore state-of-the-art augmented and virtual reality
- Discover new ways to teach and learn mathematics and computer science
- Learn how individuals with disabilities or who are neurodivergent can better access computer systems
- Dive into the world of defensive cybersecurity with a focus on enterprise security threat analysis
You will have the opportunity to present your findings at our annual Scholarship and Creative Works Conference, and you can join your fellow students at prominent national academic conferences—building your confidence, your skills and your resume.
Through the SPARK Center (Scholars Pursuing Arts, Research and Knowledge), undergraduate students can find funding, expert mentorships and resources to turn innovative ideas into life-changing research projects.
Student Life and Hands-on Learning
By blending rigorous math and computer science-focused academics with real-world experiences, you will graduate career-ready and prepared to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow.
For-Credit Internship Opportunities
Math and computer science students can claim academic credits when they engage in hands-on learning experiences that bridge the gap between classroom theory and industry practice.
Peer Support Through Student Assistants
Our team of student assistants offers tutoring, guidance and peer mentorship to support you through challenging coursework. Opportunities to become a peer assistant are shared through departmental emails, the Center for Academic Support and Enrichment and via Handshake.
Student Clubs and Organizations
Get involved, build connections and grow your skills through our vibrant math and tech-focused student clubs. Network with peers, participate in coding competitions, attend workshops and explore career opportunities. These clubs foster collaboration, leadership, and innovation, creating a supportive community for students passionate about STEM.
High School Programs
High School students can work directly with Adelphi professors and students using computer science and statistics to research real-world data.
