Computing and Informatics are the foundational forces of the 21st century. They do more than power our devices; they revolutionize how we decipher the genetic code, protect global infrastructure, and redefine human interaction. The College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) provides a comprehensive ecosystem where students don’t just learn to use technology-they learn to architect the future. While traditional disciplines often focus on static career paths, our multi-disciplinary approach provides a versatile foundation that allows graduates to lead in a world where technology, biology, and social systems are inextricably linked.

Graduate education in CCI is grounded in a combination of rigorous coursework, applied learning, and research that engages real-world problems. Faculty and students work across a broad spectrum of areas, including:

Computer Science and Software Engineering: Designing, architecting, and optimizing software systems that power modern computing. This includes algorithms, distributed systems, software engineering, and scalable and agent-based application development that enable reliable, efficient, and innovative technological solutions.
Intelligent and Autonomous Systems: Advancing artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop systems that can model, predict, and solve complex problems across domains and sciences.
Cybersecurity and Resilient Infrastructure: Designing and securing systems that protect data, networks, and critical infrastructure in an increasingly connected world.
Data Science and Computational Discovery: Applying data science, statistical modeling, and advanced analytics to extract insight from complex, large-scale datasets across domains such as business and health sciences enabling data-driven decision-making and discovery.
Bioinformatics and Genomics: Integrating computing, statistics, and biological sciences to analyze and interpret complex biological data to advance our understanding of health, disease, and living systems.
Human-Centered Computing and Societal Impact: Designing accessible, ethical, and user-centered systems while advancing computing education through innovative pedagogical approaches. This involves creating tools and learning frameworks that empower diverse practitioners and leverage computing to transform domains like healthcare and public services-improving societal outcomes and fostering technological literacy.
