School Overview


Since the introduction of the graduate computer science program in 1975, the school has been a pioneer in computing research and education. The school began offering online programs in 1983 and created the first electronic classroom in 1985.

In 1989, the Computer-Based Learning Center and Center for Computer Science were combined to form the Center for Computer and Information Sciences, which is now known as the Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences (GSCIS). Over its 25-year history, GSCIS has grown a distinguished faculty and graduated over 4,000 alumni who have made substantial contributions to research and industry.
