Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at UCI. With 37 full-time faculty members, 200+ graduate students, and more than 400 undergraduates, we provide a world-class research environment spanning not only the core areas of computer science — including computer architecture, system software, networking and distributed computing, data and information systems, the theory of computation, artificial intelligence, and computer graphics — but also highly interdisciplinary programs, such as biomedical informatics, data mining, security and privacy, and ubiquitous computing.

The diverse research interests of our faculty are reflected directly in our educational programs. CS faculty teach most of the undergraduate and graduate courses for the degree programs in both Computer Science and Information & Computer Science. We jointly offer with our colleagues in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering an undergraduate degree in Computer Science & Engineering, as well as the graduate program in Networked Systems. We also have a new major in Computer Game Science, jointly offered with the Department of Informatics.

Our department collaborates with many other institutions in the United States and abroad, and its doors are always open to a multitude of visitors and collaborators from all corners of the globe.

I invite you to browse the pages of our website to get a glimpse of some of the exciting opportunities available through our department and the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences.
