Welcome to the CS Graduate Program!

CS Overview (pdf)
Our graduate curriculum (Ph.D. / MS ) prepares students for research and teaching. Regular courses are complemented with seminar courses, which allow students to investigate areas on the cutting edge of research. Multidisciplinary activities that strengthen the impact of computation in other disciplines play an essential role.
For the MS program applicants can choose the course delivery: On Campus or Distance. The latter provides working professionals an opportunity to earn a non-thesis MS in CS via distance learning. This Master's program is for individuals with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Engineering.
In the Fall of 2012, 245 graduate students are enrolled in our graduate program. Most of them receive financial support from Purdue.
The graduate faculty consists of 50 members committed to experimental as well as theoretical research.
