Computer Science Masters Degree

Outstanding Faculty

Nine of our faculty have received NSF Young Investigator awards, and one faculty member was the recipient (out of only 20 nationwide) of a five-year Packard Fellowship. Currently our faculty and students are supported by over $5 million annually in research grants, primarily from federal agencies. These grants have produced excellent computing facilities for research and graduate education.
