Graduate Programs in Computer Science
In the University of Denver’s Department of Computer Science, we are creating the future of computing by providing a cross-disciplinary graduate education. Faculty members are engaged in multi-disciplinary educational programs that anticipate trends in research and industry, and our graduate students are conducting leading edge research combining traditional computing disciplines with emerging disciplines to find unique solutions to old and new problems and opportunities.
At the University of Denver, you’ll find opportunities to conduct research, study leading-edge technology and tools, and gain integrated knowledge. Our well-equipped labs contain state of the art equipment and software to support innovative research. Small classes support our multi-disciplinary and integrative focus by providing close contact between students and faculty, which allows students to pursue their individual career goals.
To meet the different interests and goals of students, we offer:
- MS in Computer Science (link)
- MS in Computer Science Systems Engineering
- PhD in Computer Science (link)
- Joint MS degree program in Computer Science and Engineering that stresses both hardware and software far more than traditional programs.
- Dual degree program offering a MS in Computer Science and a JD degree.
We offer late afternoon and early evening classes to accommodate working students who can individualize their studies to gain market-ready skills for their specific career needs.
Our department is particularly noted for research and industrial experience in Software Engineering, distributed systems, compilers and programimg Languages, security, networks, and serious/humane games.
Some of our outstanding advantages include:
- small classes taught by dedicated faculty
- research-active faculty members who regularly publish, land impressive grants and win teaching awards
- up-to-date curricula including classes in OO software engineering, Web technology based on Linux and Microsoft servers and applications, security and privacy, multimedia, networks, programing languages, and systems and system administration.
- top quality students within our programs; you’ll rise to the expectations of your peers
- small yet vital PhD program, adding to the department’s intellectual atmosphere
Denver is a premiere location for business, governmental and laboratory partnerships, and technology employment. The Colorado Front Range is consistently rated as one of the top high tech areas in the country, and DU is located just minutes from the Denver Technological Center, the site of many top technology companies. The Department of Computer Science is intensely committed to active collaboration with these industry leaders so that our students graduate with relevant research experience and a network of employment contacts in the technology sector.
On this website you’ll find details about our computer science programs. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us by phone or email. We will be happy to arrange a tour of our department and school. In addition to acquainting you with our faculty and facilities, we like to show off the view of the Rocky Mountains from our campus.
