Mission Statement
The department’s mission is to provide leadership for the integration of technology
into the curriculum, to provide students with current technological skills and knowledge,
to develop collaborative skills, and to teach students to learn, enabling them to
live productively in an ever-changing technological world.
A Second Home
Experiences extend past the classroom with Free Peer Tutoring, Ranked-Up Esports and our ACM Chapter. Every semester brings many events and speakers
that show how technology is used in the real world. Plus, the Maynard Math & Science
Building and the Technology Building provide ample social space, study nooks, and
all the power outlets students could ever need to ensure that they can keep connected
with Austin Peay.
Great programmers have a passion for their work, and one of the best times to learn
that passion is during grade school. We spread the technology we have through our
APSU Junior Coders classes and our APSU Coding Camps, getting kids invested in the computing world.

I did my research and I chose Austin Peay because it combined the opportunities of
a large university with the one-on-one education of a private school and now I feel
like I have two homes: one in Kentucky and my other home here in Clarksville, Tennessee.
Elijah-Pharoah Carter
Cyber Security
I’ve always had a love of computers, and after I began to research the degree offerings
at Austin Peay, it just made me sure that this was the place I needed to be. I’ve
always wanted to know how computers work and be one of the guys behind making them
work, and the degree I’ll receive at Austin Peay will definitely help me in the future.

Austin Peay gave me a new beginning, an opportunity. I had no direction, no clue what
I wanted to do. Now I’m so excited and ready to rule the world with code. I’m stoked.

(2019) Data Analysis and Management
One of the most important opportunities Austin Peay has provided me was the introduction
to Computer Science. Before coming here I had no idea what I wanted to study, but
I've found this field to be one I would enjoy and be happy with a career in.
