AND Graduate Programs

AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION The Division of and Engineering offers both a Master of Science and PhD in Computer Science. Our graduate program is designed to be flexible in order to provide our students with opportunities to take courses and do research in both core and applied/interdisciplinary areas. There are currently about 100 students, roughly evenly split between the MS and PhD programs. Additionally, our graduate program is in the top 30 nationwide, according to the latest National Research Council ranking.

DEGREES OFFERED MS in Computer Science PhD in Computer Science The MS in Computer Science program is an innovative and versatile The PhD in Computer Science program offers talented students curriculum, offering a wide range of opportunities to students. the opportunity to prepare for research careers in universities or Combined with various concentrations and options, it aims to give industrial laboratories. There is a strong and continuing demand students the education, training, and research skills and experiences for computer scientists to work at the frontiers of knowledge in they need to be successful in the many computer-oriented jobs both theoretical and applied specialties. Our curriculum covers that exist today. It can also serve as a stepping stone toward several areas related to theoretical foundations, and pursuing a doctoral degree in computer science. The curriculum architecture, cyber security, databases and data analytics, software, covers core topics, such as of computation, , computational science, and digital media. operating systems, programming languages, networks, cyber GRADUATE ADVISOR GRADUATE COORDINATOR security, , databases and analytics, and software Gerald Baumgartner Symone Johnson development.
