We have a faculty of about 30 computer scientists, deeply engaged in both cutting-edge research and education. We are one of the leading research departments at UIC, with annual research funding exceeding $9 million. At the same time, five of our professors have won UIC's top teaching prize, the Award for Excellence in Teaching, awarded to only three to five professors from the entire UIC campus each year. We have about 500 undergraduate majors, 150 masters students, and 100 PhD students.
The Computer Science Department offers three degrees: the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (including concentrations in Computer Systems and Software Engineering), the Master of Science in Computer Science, and the Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science. Our academic programs are designed to prepare students for successful careers in a rapidly evolving discipline, and we place a strong emphasis on design principles and practice.
