The graduate program at the University of Notre Dame's Department of Computer Science and Engineering is now accepting graduate applicants for the Spring 2008 semester.

The department is growing rapidly. Our faculty are interested in a broad range of research topics. Many have won high distinctions. The Department includes four IEEE fellows and an IBM fellow. Many of our new faculty have received prestigious awards such as the CAREER award from the National Science Foundation and the Young Investigator Award from the Office of Naval Research. More information about our faculty can be found on the department webpage. Our graduate alumni take on leadership positions as faculty (e.g. Georgia Institute of Technology, State University of New York - Bufffalo, Universities of Iowa, New Mexico and South Carolina), researchers (e.g. IBM Research, Lockheed) and in industry (e.g. Google, HP, Motorola). The department prizes interdisciplinary work. Our faculty and students often collaborate on projects, working with researchers from other colleges and departments across the campus, including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and other departments within the College of Engineering.

Our admissions policy is highly selective. All students admitted are supported by fellowships, teaching assistantships, and / or research assistantships. Incoming students are directly admitted to our Ph.D. program. Students who come with a bachelor's degree first attain a master's. The director of graduate studies will make this determination after the first semester of enrollment at Notre Dame.

To apply to our program, we require a transcript of grades from all prior degrees, three letters of recommendation, the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) results. For all non-English speaking applicants, the TOEFL scores also are required and the TSE scores are desired. Students should directly apply through the graduate school at http://graduateschool.nd.edu/html/prospective.students/index.html. We encourage potential students to visit our faculty web pages.
