Computer Science

Computer Science Graduates are in Demand
Computer science graduates are highly prized by employers. In the age of technology, computers have a central role in virtually every aspect of science, technology and business. Our program offers an excellent background for moving into the professional world or for continuing your education in graduate school. Some of our students take positions immediately upon graduation with companies such as Intel, Motorola, Honeywell, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, AG Communications, IBM, and Raytheon, as well as many smaller firms. Others continue on to advanced studies at schools such as Stanford, MIT, USC, the University of Colorado, and the University of Oregon.

Outstanding Faculty who Care
The Computer Science faculty has varying professional specialties, but all are united by a strong commitment to teaching. Among the special interests of the faculty are data mining (the Center for Data Insight is one of the research centers of the Arizona university system), parallel algorithms, distributed systems, artificial life, fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary programming, user interfaces, virtual collaborative environments, programming languages, modeling reactive systems, and software engineering.

Faculty Job Openings

• We currently have no faculty openings. Our apologies to those who applied for the MSE faculty position. Due to the fiscal crisis, this position was retracted to accommodate the massive budget cuts faced by the university system.
