The Department of Computer Science offers programs of study leading to the Master of Science in Computer Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Admission to these programs is highly competitive and based upon academic record, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation.
Administered through the UK Department of Computer Science, the master’s degree in data science is a two-year interdisciplinary program taught by faculty from three complementary programs: computer science, biostatistics and the Institute of Biomedical Informatics.
The field of computer engineering integrates expertise from both electrical engineering and computer science, emphasizing an understanding of computer architecture, hardware/software interface, and the integration of computers into products and systems at a larger scale.
It is strongly suggested that applicants present evidence of mathematical maturity as well as competence in computer science. Full details of the requirements for degree programs are available from the department upon request.
