About Computer Science at IUPUI
A message from the Chair
Welcome to the web site of the Department of Computer
and Information Science at IUPUI. We hope you'll take
some time to browse through the site and discover the
exciting research, teaching,
and service activities in which our faculty members
are involved. You'll find information on current
news and activities of the department and at IUPUI,
Indianapolis, and Central Indiana on this site, as well.
The Department of Computer and Information Science is a part of the IUPUI School of Science. We offer courses that lead to the following degrees:
- Certificate in Applied Computer Science
- Bachelor of Science
- Graduate Certificates
- Master of Science
- Doctor of Philosophy
All degrees awarded are conferred by Purdue University.
I'm often asked why students should attend IUPUI rather than some other big-name institutions. There are many reasons, and I will list just a few here.
- Faculty Interaction
The Department maintains a student-faculty ratio of 11:1, which means you'll have more personal interaction with caring, full-time faculty. Our class sizes are kept small for both undergraduate and graduate students. Introductory undergraduate classes often have less than 50 students. Upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses routinely enroll 10-15 students.
- High-Quality Instruction
All required courses for our Bachelor of Science , Graduate Certificates , Master of Science , and PhD are taught by full-time faculty members, not graduate students. Faculty who truly care about your growth and development in computer science will be with you from day one.
- Research Opportunities
All students, including undergraduates, are exposed to research opportunities. Students at all levels often work one-on-one with talented senior faculty to conduct research and expand knowledge in the discipline.
Again, welcome to our web site. We welcome your feedback and inquiries.
Please call 317-274-9727 or e-mail to get in touch with us.
Best Wishes,

Shiaofen Fang, PhD
Associate Professor and Chair
