Welcome to the Maseeh College Computer Science Department!

About Us

The Department has 26 regular faculty members who specialize in a variety of research areas, including, among others, computer graphics and vision, computer security, databases, intelligent systems, programming languages, software engineering (including open source software), sensor networks and other aspects of networking, and high performance computing. To learn more, visit the main research page, or go to individual faculty web pages: links can be found in the faculty entries of the People tab.

We have a dedicated staff including a full-time undergraduate coordinator who advises students about their programs, and a full-time graduate coordinator. We offer Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Ph.D degrees. Over 400 undergraduate students are self-declared majors; of these 134 have been admitted to the program as juniors. 

The Department participates in the industry-sponsored MECOP internship program, and a great many students also find their own internships among the many high-tech companies in our area, sometimes called the "Silicon Forest". The department encourages internships as a great complement to formal learning. 

Portland is a friendly city with excellent public transportation, plenty of bicycle trails, lots of cultural and sporting events, a great food scene, and easy access to ski slopes and seashore.
