The Computer Science Department boasts one of the largest B.S. programs in the state, as well as thriving master’s and Ph.D. programs.

Despite its large size, the department maintains modest class sizes and a strong tradition of one-on-one faculty mentorship.

Offering a range of degrees – from undergraduate to doctorate – with opportunities to concentrate your studies and research in areas like bioinformatics, virtual reality, big data, artificial intelligence, security, and more.

Why Study Computer Science?

The job market in computer science is strong. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Overall employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations from 2022 to 2032. About 377,500 openings are projected each year, on average, in these occupations due to employment growth and the need to replace workers who leave the occupations permanently.

A student completing the degree with good grades can successfully compete for high-paying jobs as systems programmers or analysts, applications programmers, systems support staff membesr, technical staff members, or similar positions.

The courses in the department are designed to teach the foundations of computing rather than a particular technology, so that the student is prepared to change with changing technology.

“Choosing UNCG was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. Initially it was challenging, coming from India so soon after receiving a Bachelor’s degree, to handle different things. Eventually, I worked hard and learned a lot from my Professors and Classmates. I feel very fortunate for having great experience and exposure during my Master’s degree at UNCG. Proud to be a Spartan.”
