About Us

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of North Texas provides very high quality educational programs by maintaining a balance between theoretical and experimental aspects of computer science, as well as a balance between software and hardware issues, and by providing curricula that serve the citizens and industrial organizations of Texas in general, and those in North Texas in particular. The department facilitates a collegial atmosphere that is conducive to intellectual and scholarly pursuits of the faculty and students. The department strongly encourages interdisciplinary research.

At present, the department offers a Bachelor of Arts in Information Technology, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Science in Computer Science, Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Computer Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering.

At present, the department includes 19 tenured or tenure-track professors and three full-time lecturers. Current research interests of the faculty include theoretical computer science, databases, visualization, game programming, wired and wireless networks, computer security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, computer systems architecture, agent based systems, collaborative learning, parallel and distributed processing, and numerical analysis. The departmental research is supported by federal and state agencies as well as industrial concerns.

The site is maintained by Don Retzlaff, Computer Science and Engineering WebMaster ("donr {at} unt.edu"), with the assistance of Matt Kernan, CSE System Administrator ("csesupport {at} unt.edu"), and Genene Murphy ("genene {at} unt.edu"). Graphics support is provided by Elisa Retzlaff. Brian Harrington produced the various maps used for the faculty offices on the Faculty page.

The Computer Science and Engineering department and/or its faculty did not participate in the selection, design, implementation or maintenance of WebCT/Blackboard Vista, EIS, or EagleConnect.
