The Graduate Faculty<br />
• Jeremy J. Blum, D.Sc. (George Washington) Assistant Professor of Computer Science<br />
• Thang N. Bui, Ph.D. (MIT) Associate Professor of Computer Science; Program Chair<br />
• Sukmoon Chang, Ph.D. (Rutgers) Assistant Professor of Computer Science<br />
• William Deng, Ph.D. (Kansas State) Assistant Professor of Computer Science<br />
• Linda M. Null, Ph.D. (Iowa State) Associate Professor of Computer Science<br />

The program is professionally oriented and designed to prepare students for employment in<br />
industry or government. Courses emphasize practical concerns as well as the relevant theoretical<br />
background. The program will provide appropriate background for diverse tasks such as<br />
developing scientific and engineering applications, developing system software, developing<br />
safety or security critical systems, solving computationally hard problems, and developing<br />
distributed applications. While not intended as preparation for subsequent entrance to a Ph.D.<br />
program, this goal is not precluded. Once the specific course requirements are met, appropriate<br />
selection of electives will enable individual interests to be met within the program. Anticipated<br />
areas of interest include software engineering, systems programming, and artificial intelligence.<br />
Admission Requirements<br />
In addition to the general Graduate School requirements, applicants must present a baccalaureate<br />
degree in Computer Science or a related field from a regionally accredited institution. A<br />
minimum GPA of 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale) is required. While a bachelor's degree in Computer<br />
Science is not required, admission without deficiency requires that an applicant has completed<br />
courses in analysis of algorithms, operating systems, database, and linear algebra. If these<br />
