Department of Computer Science
The field of Computer Science continues to drive the innovation and progress that shapes every aspect of the digital age. There are few areas of modern life that are not touched by our ability to rapidly create, consume, analyze or harness information. This has led to endless applications across health care, business, art, technology, agriculture, and entertainment, among many others.
Computer Science Graduate Degrees
Learn MoreBaylor’s PhD in Computer Science is designed for students who want to learn how to do research, and intend to continue doing research in the academy, industry, or other positions. As a student in the program, you will learn to do research through faculty mentorship (in the classroom, on projects, and in independent study). This research is built upon a breadth of knowledge of the field, provided by coursework.
Baylor’s Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MSAI+) exposes students to the latest core AI technologies with one focus area, such as cybersecurity, biomedical/health care, financial engineering or quantum computing. Students will gain hands-on experience through a capstone project. Graduates will be prepared for cutting-edge research or high-level roles in industry.
