The revolution in information technology has profoundly influenced our way of life, our culture and our economy. Alumni and students continually remind us that pursuing a degree in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering is an experience rarely matched elsewhere.

Their department is indeed special, offering students and faculty an unusual blend of very high expectations and exceptional quality of life.

The impressive accomplishments of our faculty reflect these expectations, as does our exceptionally high level of research funding, the impact our technology has on industry and research, the placement of our graduates and the quality of our research infrastructure.

Important contributors to our quality of life are the department's small size, the close knit atmosphere of the research groups, active student organizations, tradition of individual mentoring, access to the faculty, experienced staff, beautiful campus and wonderful St. Louis neighborhoods.

As they recently completed a re-examination of our long-range strategic plan, we renewed our commitment to bringing together bright minds and helping them flourish in a setting that is rich in resources, intellectually exciting and filled with high aspirations.
