The Computer Science Department offers the degrees of Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in computer science.
Our mission is to provide a quality learning environment that balances course work, research, and community. The Master's program is intended for those students who want a professional education in computer science beyond the Bachelor's level, and is our most popular program. Many of our courses rotate into the evening on a regular basis, which makes this program particularly accessible to non-traditional students who work locally. The Ph.D. program, in contrast, is designed for students interested in becoming professional scholars, college and university teachers, or independent research workers in private, industrial, or government research institutions. Our Ph.D. program is one of only four CS Ph.D. programs in the state public university system, and the only one in northeast Ohio. The Computer Science Department has 19 faculty, over 150 graduate students and over 350 undergraduate students, and is experiencing strong growth in student numbers. The department has been targeted for significant enhancement by the State of Ohio and Kent State University, and will be increasing its equipment holdings and staff considerably in the near future. In broad terms, the major areas of faculty research are distributed and parallel processing, networking and net-centric systems, and computational science, graphics and visualization. Other active research areas include bioinformatics, database and data mining, geometric and graph algorithms, image processing, and software engineering. Additional information on our Graduate Program can be obtained by e-mailing questions to: cs-gradinfo@cs.kent.edu. Admission to the Department is done through the Admissions office at Kent State University. |
