The Department of Computer Science was founded by
people who had a vision. This vision was how computer
science would fit into the unique spirit of Yale University,
an institution oriented to an unusual degree around
undergraduate education and close interdepartmental
collaboration. The Department has always had close ties
to mathematics and engineering, but has increasingly
experienced collaborations with other disciplines important
to Yale, including psychology, linguistics, economics,
business, statistics, music, medicine, physics and more.
It is through these collaborations that the importance
of computer science in a broader sense is best appreciated.
