The department currently has 18 tenure-track faculty and 11 teaching faculty. We offer three undergraduate degrees (B.S. and B.A in Computer Science and B.S. in Artificial Intelligence) and two graduate degrees (MS and PhD in Computer Science). Current research areas include algorithms, bioinformatics, compilers, computational geometry, databases, high-performance computing, machine learning, natural language processing, networks, operating systems, security, computer vision, and visualization. The department is in the College of Science, which includes other highly ranked departments such as Astronomy and Geosciences, with which Computer Science faculty actively collaborate.

As part of a Hispanic Serving Institution, the department is committed to addressing barriers in the field. We encourage applications from people who share our vision of bringing a transformational educational experience to our students and who are committed to anti-bias practices and mentoring under-represented students.
