Welcome
In the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, we are at the forefront in providing outstanding academic programs in computer science, software engineering, and computer engineering. As part of the Bagley College of Engineering, recognized for its excellence in engineering and the computing sciences, we strive to give our students the skills needed to discover solutions to tomorrow's problems. Careers in the computing sciences provide exciting opportunities from the development three-dimensional computer graphics in a very creative atmosphere to cutting-edge work with a cross-disciplinary focus such as digital biology. Our department can help the interested student in choosing from a variety of challenging and rewarding career options.
Our faculty and students work together in an environment that fosters teamwork and leadership. We provide state-of-the-art facilities in which our students learn and conduct research in such exciting application areas as computational biology, computer security, digital forensics, intelligent systems, parallel computing, and augmented reality. We invite you to contact us and to surf our site to learn more about our academic and research programs.
Now is an exciting time for people who study and work in the computing world. The demand for professionals in the computing disciplines continues to grow, now exceeding the number of opportunities available at the height of the "dot-com" boom. People working in the computing fields are impacting the world and influencing the future.
Please take the time to learn about our academic and research programs. Prospective students will find useful information about our university's cooperative education program (one of the nation's best), scholarships and fellowships, and admission procedures by clicking on the Prospective Students link. Contact information is available on our site for those of you who seek additional information. I hope that you may also have the opportunity to visit our beautiful campus to see what we have to offer.
