The Yale Department of Computer Science was founded in 1969 as a small graduate program. It now includes 15 regular faculty members, 9 adjunct or affiliated faculty, and 10 research scientists/postgraduate fellows. There are more than 40 graduate students and more than 70 undergraduate majors. The Department offers more than 25 undergraduate and graduate courses annually as well as a number of reading and project courses and seminars.
The Ph.D. degree program in Computer Science stresses original research, by the student as an individual and as a member of the community of scholars. To this end, the course requirements are minimal and students normally begin research by the fall term of their second year of graduate study.
The terminal M.S. degree program in Computer Science brings students to the cutting edge of the field and provides them with a solid foundation on which to build their future careers.
