What is CS Research?

If you think that CS research is all about banging away on a keyboard in a solitary windowless cubicle, think again!

Summer Research Opportunities

Discover the various research opportunities that are available for undergraduates.

Undergraduate Research Awards

There are several computing research awards available to undergraduates who have done exceptionally good research.

Considering Graduate School?

Why go to Graduate School?

Graduate school in CS provides you with an opportunity to study CS broadly and deeply and to engage in research.

The Application Process

Applying to graduate school takes a bit of time, but it's not as hard or scary as you might think.

Computing Community Consortium

Established in 2006 through a cooperative agreement between the Computing Research Association (CRA) - representing over 220 North American academic departments, industrial research labs, and professional societies with computing research interests - and the U.S. National Science Foundation, the CCC provides a voice for the national computing research community. The CCC facilitates the development of a bold, multi-themed vision for computing research, and communicates that vision to a wide range of major stakeholders.
