Welcome to Computer Science at UCF

Our continuing mission is to advance knowledge and the state of the art of Computing. We tackle this mission through both education and research.

In terms of education, we offer Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees in Computer Science and Information Technology. We also offer Master of Science (MS) degrees in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Cyber Security and Privacy, Data Analytics, Digital Forensics, and Financial Technology (FinTech). Finally, we offer Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in Computer Science and Big Data Analytics.

In terms of research, we have distinguished faculty that actively conduct research in the many areas listed above. Our department is one of the top U.S. Computer Science institutions based on CSRankings.org, regularly ranking in the Top 50 for Computer Vision, Visualization, Computational Biology, Human-Computer Interaction, and Computer Architecture.
