Faculty  

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of North Texas provides very high quality educational programs by maintaining a balance between theoretical and experimental aspects of computer science and engineering, as well as a balance between software and hardware issues, and by providing curricula that serve the citizens and industrial organizations of Texas in general, and those in North Texas in particular. The department offers ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degrees in computer engineering and computer science and an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Arts degree in information technology. The bachelor of science degree in cybersecurity enabled students to gain skills to create and maintain secure computing systems. The department also offers Master of Science degrees in computer engineering and computer science and a doctoral degree in computer science and engineering. Current research interests of the faculty may be grouped broadly into algorithms and computational science, computer security, computer systems and networks, databases and data mining, intelligent systems and software engineering. Details about specific faculty research may be found on the faculty members’ web pages. The departmental research is supported by federal and state agencies as well as industrial concerns.

Vision and mission

The vision of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering is to be a leader for quality research and education in selected areas in computer engineering, computer science and information technology. The mission of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering is to provide high-quality education through its undergraduate degree program in information technology, undergraduate and graduate degree programs in computer science and computer engineering, and to conduct internationally recognized research in selected areas of computer science and engineering.
