Welcome to the Department of Computer and Information Sciences! We are a community of faculty and students who are excited about our dynamic discipline and how it changes people's lives. The department offers a program in computer science and one in computer information systems, each with a number of concentrations. Thus, it prepares the students for a wide range of careers or graduate studies. Our classes are small – at most 30 students – and the education is student-centered. We provide individualized advisement to all our undergraduates about the programs, course scheduling, and career opportunities. Our faculty includes accomplished scholars and teachers offering a variety of courses. Department members are recipients of numerous awards such as Wilkes Award of the British Computer Society, SUNY Fredonia President’s Award of Excellence, SUNY Chancellor’s Award of Excellence in Scholarship, Kasling Memorial Lecture Award, and Hagan Young Scholar Award. We love to involve the students in our research activities – an opportunity which is offered primarily to graduate students at other universities and research centers. We are proud of our alumni, who are employed nationwide as computer consultants, programmers, systems analysts, network administrators, project managers, software engineers, hardware specialists, web developers, and educators. We are working together to improve the welfare of our community and society. Reneta P. Barneva |
