2010 (my year) was about 7-10 I believe. And about half of those were double majors.

Edit: 13 majors, of which at least 10 were double majors (including me and Dave below).

Edit 2: Good grief. The whole lot on HN. Do any of us Ephs get any work done?



Oh hi, class of 2001 here, Ephs represent! & get off my lawn etc etc etc.


We actually had 13 CS majors in 2010: http://www.cs.williams.edu/people/alumni-directory/. That went up to 20 majors in the class of 2011, so the gradient is positive!


Woo 2011 Williams CS. Ok, that's my one comment on HN for the year.


Don't forget to send me your resumes, everyone: dewitt@google.com. : )


dammit Dewitt - stop stealing all the good ones with your fancy Google.com address...


Williams CS represent


Class of 2015 here! We have record numbers signed up for Algorithms in the spring, something like 30-40 and a lot of those people are planning to major.


How can they possibly have a whole department with so few students? Is it just math professors doubling up by teaching CS?


It's a real department with seven profs. Lots of non-majors take CS classes, but even so, class sizes are relatively small (usually in the 10 to 30 range). That's really one of the major selling points for the LAC model of education.


That is a lot of Ephs on HN! I've created a new Google+ community for current students, alumni, and faculty of the Williams College CS program:

Please ask for an invite if that's you.


Does Williams have an active ACM/CS club on campus?
