The Computer Science program provides a comprehensive and adaptable curriculum, equipping students with the foundation for advanced studies across all areas of computer science. This discipline focuses on creating, evaluating, and executing computer systems, along with applying computational methods to nearly every academic field and real-world application. Computer systems vary from miniature embedded devices to the entire internet infrastructure. Computer science research combines mathematical theory, practical experimentation, and system prototyping. Computational methods are proving invaluable for solving critical challenges in biology and medicine. Global initiatives to build databases containing protein structures, DNA sequences, metabolic pathways, pharmaceutical data, and patient records have opened new possibilities for intelligent systems. At UCI, active research in bio/medical informatics encompasses: Healthcare Information Retrieval, Guideline Representation for Medical Practices, Biomedical Data Analysis, Medical Simulations, Gene Regulation Analysis, Clinical Data Mining, Biological Computing, Bioinformatics, and Statistical Modeling.

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
