Computer science is a
multifaceted discipline that encompasses a broad range of
topics. At one end of the spectrum, computer science focuses
on the theoretical capabilities of computers and on the
properties of various general problems and algorithms. At
the other, applications-oriented end of the spectrum,
computer science deals with techniques for the design and
construction of machines and with advanced applications of
computers in all aspects of our society. Graduates of the
program will be prepared for admission to graduate study or
for immediate employment in business, industry, or
government positions involving computer systems and
techniques.
The Department of Computer Science, established in 1983,
offers degrees at all levels (BS, MS, and PhD). We
invite you to take a look around our site and learn about
the department at The University of Alabama.
