Student Programming Competitions

International Collegiate Programming Competition (ICPC):  The department hosts the annual Southeast Regional ICPC programming contest each November. Teams of three students compete by writing computer programs to solve a set of problems within a five-hour time limit. Teams from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida participate in the Southeast USA Region (SEUSA) contest, and the top team advances to represent the region at the world finals. The contest aims to strengthen students’ problem-solving and computational thinking skills.
