PhD in Computer Science in Charlotte United States | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Computer Science holds the distinction of being among the earliest standalone computer science departments in the U.S., established in 1964 by Dr. Frederick P. Brooks Jr. His foundational principles continue to shape our approach, particularly his emphasis on fostering collaborative relationships between faculty and students. Our department focuses on both academic research and educational programs at all levels, providing bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in computer science. The B.S. program delivers a comprehensive liberal arts education in computer science, equipping students for professional careers or advanced studies. The B.A. option allows students to integrate computer science with another field of interest. Our graduate programs emphasize practical system design and applicable theoretical foundations, with the M.S. developing versatile professionals for diverse industry roles and the Ph.D. cultivating educators and researchers for academic and corporate settings.
