The Department of Computer and Information Sciences offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The master's and Ph.D. graduate programs in Computer and Information Sciences train academically oriented students as well as students with more immediate professional goals. Students will acquire advanced knowledge of the theory of the field as well as the practical design, analysis and implementation skills needed to do research in an academic, government, industrial, or business environment. The Master of Science degree, which prepares students for professional careers requiring significant technical expertise, can be pursued in its own right or earned en route to the Doctor of Philosophy. Areas of Concentration Although the graduate programs include certain required core courses, there is ample flexibility so that course selection can be geared toward the student's interest and specialization. Research interests of the faculty include Artificial Intelligence, Expert Systems, Computer Architecture, Automated VLSI Systems, Management Information and Database Systems, Communication and Networks, Parallel and Distributive Processing and Operating Systems, Computer Science Education, Intelligent CAI Systems, Software Engineering, Natural Language Processing, Theory of Automata and Computation, Analysis of Algorithms, Graphics, Sensory and Image Processing, Programming Languages, Factory Automation, Flexible and Intelligent Manufacturing Systems.
February 1 for fall admission. September 30 for spring admission.
Financial Aid The Department offers a number of Graduate Assistantships for qualified students on a competitive basis. These require service as Teaching, Laboratory, and Research Assistants, and carry a stipend plus full waiver of tuition. Summer support through teaching or research is also available.
Degree Programs Four graduate degree programs are offered through the Division of Computer and Information Sciences. The M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in CIS are conferred through the College of Science and Technology. The M.S. and M.B.A. degrees in Business and Management with a concentration in CIS are conferred through the Richard J. Fox School of Business and Management (SBM).
Additional information regarding the degree programs in SBM can be found under the Richard J. Fox School of Business and Management.
Master of Science Admission Requirements Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and should have the equivalent of an undergraduate degree in computer science which includes courses in mathematics as well as computer science. Mathematics requirements are a knowledge of calculus, probability or statistics, and discrete mathematics. Computer Science requirements are the ability to program in an assembly language and a higher level language, and a general knowledge of computers, programming languages, data structures, and operating systems. If previous work does not include an adequate mathematical and computer science background, such background must be acquired before graduate work can be undertaken. Additional minimal admission requirements include an undergraduate GPA of 2.8 on a 4.0 system or 3.0 during the last two years. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required.
