The Computer Science degree is a broad and flexible program which offers students opportunities for graduate study in the full spectrum of intellectual activity in computer science. The field of computer science is concerned with the design, analysis and implementation of computer systems as well as the use of computation as it is applied to virtually every field of study and use in the everyday world. Computer systems can range in scope from tiny embedded systems to the internet as a whole. Research in computer science involves mathematical analysis, empirical experimentation and the implementation of proto-type systems. The Department of Computer Science is internationally recognized as a unique group of faculty, visiting researchers, students and educational programs, which provide a world-class research environment that goes well beyond the core areas of computer science. Our curricula, faculty and research areas focus on an array of topics, including algorithms and complexity, artificial intelligence and machine learning, biomedical informatics and computational biology, computer architecture and design, computer graphics and visualization, computer vision, databases and data mining, embedded systems, medical informatics, multimedia computing, networks and distributed systems, operating systems, programming languages and systems, scientific and numerical computing, security, privacy and cryptography, and software engineering.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants will be evaluated on the basis of their prior academic record. Applicants for the M.S. are expected to have a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Ph.D. applicants will additionally be evaluated in their potential for creative research and teaching in Information and Computer Sciences.
Applicants are expected to have (1) skills in computer programming at least equivalent to those obtained in college-level courses in programming and language development, (2) skills in mathematics equivalent to those obtained in complete college-level courses in logic and set theory, analysis, linear algebra and modern algebra, or probability and statistics, (3) data structures, analysis of algorithms, automata theory, or formal languages, and (4) computer architectures.
All applicants are evaluated on the materials submitted: letters of recommendation, official GRE test scores (optional for M.S./Ph.D. in Informatics, M.S./Ph.D. in Software Engineering, the Master of Human Computer Interaction and Design, and the Master of Software Engineering) official college transcripts, statement of purpose, and personal history statement.
An applicant to the M.S./Ph.D. in Informatics, M.S./Ph.D. in Software Engineering, the Master of Human Computer Interaction and Design, or the Master of Software Engineering is strongly encouraged to submit additional material that enriches their application and speaks to the applicant's strengths (e.g., design portfolio, link to GitHub profile, GRE test scores, scholarly papers submitted and/or published, writing samples).
TOEFL iBT minimum score of 80
IELTS - An overall minimum score of 7.0 for admission, with a score of no less than 6.0 on any individual module.
Have a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0
