Program Description
The Department of Computer Science is committed to a high quality graduate education. The research conducted by CS faculty enables graduate students a comprehensive, state-of-the-art understanding of computer science and its application to a wide range of other disciplines. A substantial level of sponsored research has been achieved thereby providing financial support for many graduate students in the form of research assistantships.
The graduate program in Computer Science also upholds and strengthens the mission of MOST (Ministry of Science and Technology), and HEC by providing excellence in instruction, innovation in research and scholarship, and service to the university, the profession, and the public.
