Overview

The Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (Cornell Bowers) started as a bold experiment that united the creation of new technology with a deeper understanding of the interplay of technology with humanity. We recognized that the Information Age was transforming society and saw the potential to guide and amplify that change. Our revolutionary approach still propels us today.

Through computer science, information science, and statistics and data science, Cornell Bowers is a global force for collaboration across disciplines - creatively and thoughtfully exploring technology’s potential to advance our world. Bowers is the new frontier of tech - moving technology, humanity, and society forward as one.

We pioneer emerging fields, develop the algorithms that power the information age, put a human lens on technology, and find new ways in which data can unlock powerful insights. The college's unique vision and commitment to both developing state-of-the-art technologies and in studying and understanding the societal and human impact of these technologies, allows for new understandings, ethical approaches and forward-looking technologies.
