Our contacts with companies operating globally continually confirm the demand for multilingual, interculturally savvy professionals. We collaborate with URI&#8217;s International Engineering Program (IEP) and the Department of Languages to offer the unique International Computer Science Program (ICSP). Students reach a high level of proficiency in another language and gain experience working with international teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who complete the five-year program will earn two degrees: a B.S. or B.A. degree in Computer Science and a B.A. in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Global Language and Area Studies. Students study the language, business, and culture of the countries in which the language predominates. Students will spend six months abroad serving on a professional internship and can extend the stay by completing a semester of coursework at a participating university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ICSP features language courses designed specifically for computer scientists, a semester of study abroad at partner universities in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Taiwan, and a six-month internship with a company or research lab abroad, typically in the fourth year of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>We encourage you to carefully consider this unique program.
