Welcome to Computer Science

Computer Science presents opportunities in the broadest range of professional disciplines. By maintaining a balance between education, research and interdisciplinary collaborations, our department opens this universe of opportunities for our students. Because of our relatively small size, we have opted to focus on a few critical research topics where we can gain worldwide recognition.

Our faculty are expert in their respective research areas and their research informs our curriculum keeping it timely and topical. Our Department reflects the spirit and excellence of Johns Hopkins University and we are recognized for producing industry innovators and first-class researchers. The demand for our graduates is always high in both industry and academia.
