Computer Science and Engineering

Welcome to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering!


Our Mission:
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is dedicated to empowering individuals to acquire cutting-edge computing skills through hands-on education and innovative research. Our goal is to address real-world challenges in Michigan and beyond.

Our Vision:
We aspire to be the premier destination for those in Michigan and beyond who seek to harness computing for the betterment of their communities.

Undergraduate Programs: We offer five separate undergraduate majors: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Information Technology.

Combined B.S./M.S. Programs: We offer six combined bachelor's/master's degrees that provide students with an opportunity to complete a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in less time that would be necessary if the two degrees were obtained independently. These combined programs create an integrated learning experience along several knowledge paths.

• Computer Science, B.S., Software Engineering and Information Technology, M.S.
• Computer Science, B.S./Cybersecurity, M.S.
• Computer Science, Combined B.S./M.S.
• Information Technology, B.S./Computer Science, M.S.,
• Information Technology, B.S./Cybersecurity, M.S.
• Information Technology, B.S./Software Engineering and Information Technology, M.S.

Graduate Programs: Our graduate programs include M.S. in Artificial Intelligence, M.S. in Computer Science, M.S. in Cybersecurity, M.S. in Software Engineering and Information Technology, and the Ph.D. in Computer Science and Informatics.

Students interested in learning more about any minor should contact the Minor Faculty Adviser, Dr. Kate Bowers ([email protected]). Once approved by Dr. Bowers, students need to contact the CSE Administrative Assistant, Sherry Rank ([email protected]), to add the minor. 

Combined B.S./M.S. Programs

A combined bachelor/master degree program provides students an opportunity to complete a bachelor’s and master’s degree in less time than would be required if the two degrees were done independently. Students accepted for the B.S./M.S. program must have a minimum overall undergraduate GPA of 3.2. Students may apply to the B.S./M.S. program and be offered deferred admission to the graduate program during their junior year.
