Mission
- To offer rigorous undergraduate and graduate degree programs for students seeking careers or further study in the field of computer science;
- To support faculty research efforts in applied, theoretical, and experimental aspects of computer science;
- To co-operate with other UGA departments and schools on interdisciplinary research, instructional, and service programs;
- To engage in outreach to the local community and beyond so that computer science can have a positive impact on peoples' lives.
Constituencies
The program recognizes three constituencies:
- students enrolled in the Bachelor's degree program in Computer Science, University of Georgia;
- students who have completed this degree and are now either pursuing graduate study or a career;
- and corporations, individuals, and commercial enterprises who hire graduates of the program.
Program Educational Objectives
- Graduates will be successfully employed in the computing profession, or will be actively pursuing advanced degrees in computing or a related discipline.
- Graduates will have a thorough grounding in the principles and practices of computing, and be properly prepared to engage in further learning.
- Graduates will have an appreciation and understanding of social issues, enabling them to be responsible members of their profession and informed citizens.
