Formed in 1981, the University of Idaho Computer Science Department has 13 faculty, about 200 undergraduates, and 50 graduate students pursuing masters and doctoral degrees.

The department offers a practical orientation to computer science; cutting-edge, world-class research; a congenial, accessible faculty; and an active student population. We offer the BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Computer Science and we invite you to become involved in our community. Our programs are built upon a base of strong fundamental concepts in computer science, supplemented by the opportunities to develop breadth and depth in specialized areas.

As a small, collegial department, we support high-quality research that is contributing to the advance of our discipline. We strongly encourage independent thinking and initiative. Our highly qualified faculty enjoys teaching and research in many leading-edge areas:

Information Assurance • Games and Virtual Environments • Embedded Systems • Distributed & Network Computing • Fault Tolerant Systems • Artificial Intelligence • Evolutionary Computing • Computer Architecture • Software Engineering • Bioinformatics

We are also working with other faculty in the College of Engineering researching and offering coursework supporting Computer Engineering.

In 1999 the National Security Agency designated the University of Idaho as one of the initial seven Centers of Excellence in Information Assurance Education. . In 2001, the National Science Foundation created the Scholarship for Service (SFS, aka CyberCorps) program and the University of Idaho was one of the first five schools in the nation to host a scholarship program specifically for students focusing on Information Assurance studies. In June of 2006 the University of Idaho was selected to join the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3p)

In addition to our programs offered on the Moscow campus, we offer MS and PhD graduate programs at the Idaho Falls Residence Center. The Idaho Falls programs are easily available to those in south eastern Idaho, providing access to contemporary graduate coursework that may be of special significance to employees of the Idaho National Laboratory. For more information about the Idaho Falls programs in Computer Science visit the department's Idaho Falls Web Site

The Computer Science Department offices are located in the Janssen Engineering Building.

For those graduate students who are not able to relocate to Moscow, the department offers popular outreach graduate degrees and studies in focus areas.
