Overview

As a student in the program of Computer Science at Baylor University, you will learn to do research through faculty mentorship (in the classroom, on projects, and in independent study).

Key facts

This research is built upon a breadth of knowledge of the field, provided by coursework.

Applicants should have a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in computer science or a closely related field. We do expect successful applicants to have the equivalent training of a B.S. degree in computer science from Baylor University.
In particular, that means knowledge of fundamental theory (math, algorithms, data structures), computer systems (operating systems, network, databases), software engineering, as well as programming. Master's level coursework can be considered for credit upon entrance into the PhD program, however it is not required.
