M.S. and Ph.D. Admissions

The Department of Computer Science conducts an active and well-funded research program, which allows it to provide high-quality graduate education and research experience to a select group of creative and highly motivated graduate students. Approximately twenty-five new graduate students enter the program annually, roughly evenly divided between the M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Most graduate students are supported financially throughout their graduate career via a combination of teaching assistantships (TAs) and research assistantships (RAs). Our admissions standards are high and competition for the limited number of positions in the program is rigorous. Admission is based on an evaluation of both an applicant's academic profile and research potential. We especially encourage applications from underrepresented minorities and women.
