The Jonsson School is one of the top five producers of computer science degrees in the U.S.

The Computer Science Department’s graduate program in computer science ranks 29th in the U.S. based on our faculty’s publication rate, and our graduate program in software engineering ranks 24th worldwide using the same measure, according to a report in the June 2007 issue of the Communications of the ACM.

Our faculty and students publish more than 350 research papers annually, and our faculty includes multiple NSF Career Award winners.

We are one of only a few departments in the U.S. offering B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in software engineering.
