Letter from the SCS Director

Welcome to the website for the UNLV School of Computer Science. We live in a world of rapid technological change, and computer science forms the foundation for the information systems and communication networks on which that change relies.

We offer both the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees at the undergraduate level. Either of these academic programs will prepare you for an exciting, challenging, and ultimately rewarding career. Recent surveys have shown that computer science is in the top ten degrees most in demand by employers, and that the average starting salary for computer science graduates is in the top five.

For students wishing to pursue graduate studies, we offer both the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in computer science. Our graduate faculty provides students with the theoretical and practical educational opportunities that will allow them to pursue original and meaningful research in application areas such as computer graphics, databases, networks, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, computer security, programming languages, and operating systems.

Our faculty and staff are dedicated to creating an atmosphere that will allow all our students to excel and realize their full potential. We hope that you will find the information on this site to be helpful and informative, and we'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.
