Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at the University at Albany! We have recently modernized all three of our degree programs (BS, MS, and PhD) and invite you to explore our cutting-edge courses, which are taught by world-class faculty. A degree in CS opens up unlimited job opportunities, as well as teaching critical thinking, computational thinking, and design thinking to maximize success in 21st century society. We are part of a Tier 1 research university located in the heart of Tech Valley in central New York state, affording our students the opportunity to engage in exciting internships throughout their studies. We very much look forward to engaging you in education and research at UAlbany.
