At Seattle University, we are educating the next generation of software engineers and computer scientists with strong leadership and communication skills. Located in the heart of Seattle, Seattle University is the largest and most culturally diverse independent university in the Northwest.

Our campus, located in close proximity to technology powerhouses, enables us to work closely with companies such as Amazon, Boeing, Microsoft, PACCAR, Nordstrom and Costco. Students work with mentors, gain real-world project experiences and are surrounded by exciting career opportunities. Our department is renowned for the year-long industry-sponsored experiential learning program at the undergraduate level, coordinated by our award-winning Project Center. This experience prepares our students to be effective leaders, communicators and competitive candidates for rewarding careers in the Seattle tech industry and beyond. The Department of Computer Science welcomes students from all backgrounds and programming levels. Our graduate degree in artificial intelligence combines rigorous academics, ethics and hands-on projects with real-world industry experience, preparing you to apply AI responsibly and effectively.

The Computer Science Fundamentals Certificate prepares you for a new career in the tech industry and is a bridge to the MS in Computer Science program. No prior programming experience is required. Informatics courses inform a rich set of focus areas, which are lenses that frame different considerations of information in the curriculum. These are not credentials or degrees; rather, they are labels that highlight academic fields and communities of practice in which our school and faculty have expertise. Most Informatics courses are labeled as drawing on one or more of the following focus areas: Use these focus areas to help discover new interests; to find core and elective courses that aligned with your interests; to connect with students with similar interests; to understand the different kinds of expertise...

Data Science is an emerging interdisciplinary field that works to extract knowledge or insight from data. It combines fields such as information science, computer science, statistics, design, and social science. Our faculty teach many courses on data science, including: There are also numerous data science courses taught across campus, all of which complement the courses above. You can also pursue research and capstone opportunities in data science with our many faculty experts. These courses are also good preparation for the UW Master's in Data Science and for the many kinds of entry-level careers in data science.

See our careers page for more details. Computer science is the study of computers and computational systems, including artificial intelligence, networks and security, database systems, human-computer interaction, vision and graphics, numerical analysis, operating systems, programming languages, software engineering, and bioinformatics. Computer scientists work to solve problems and study the performance of computer hardware and software to solve problems, expand functionality, and improve efficiency of our technology-enhanced world. Our associate degree programs are designed to provide you with a comprehensive foundation, empowering you to seamlessly transition into a bachelor’s degree program in various specialized fields.

Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering[2] (commonly abbreviated as the Allen School) is a department-level school within the College of Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle. The school is housed in two adjacent buildings: the Bill & Melinda Gates and Paul G.

Allen Centers for Computer Science and Engineering. It offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Originally known as the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, it was renamed the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering following a $50 million endowment from Paul Allen and Microsoft in 2017. The Computer Science Group was created in March 1967 as a graduate program under the Graduate School. In 1973, the Department of Computer Science was established as an inter-college unit between the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering.

An undergraduate major started accepting students in the 1975–76 academic year. In 1989, the department became a unit of the College of Engineering and the Computer Engineering degree program was added. The professional master's program, which features evening courses, debuted in 1996. The five year combined BS/MS program started in 2008.[3] On March 9, 2017, CSE's 50th anniversary, the UW Board of Regents voted to elevate the CSE department to a school, naming it after Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen with a $50 million endowment from... As of 2023, the Allen School employs an equivalent of 92 full-time employees across tenure-track, teaching-track, and research professors.[5] Turing Award laureate Richard M.

Karp was on the faculty from 1995 to 1999.[5] Over 650 PhD students have graduated from the school.[3] Go directly to any of the following sections: In College Factual's most recent rankings for the best schools for computer & information sciences majors, UW Seattle came in at #23. This puts it in the top 5% of the country in this field of study. It is also ranked #1 in Washington. During the 2021-2022 academic year, University of Washington - Seattle Campus handed out 1059 bachelor's degrees in computer & information sciences.

This is an increase of 7% over the previous year when 992 degrees were handed out. In 2022, 666 students received their master’s degree in computer & information sciences from UW Seattle. This makes it the #13 most popular school for computer & information sciences master’s degree candidates in the country. In addition, 57 students received their doctoral degrees in computer & information sciences in 2022, making the school the #7 most popular school in the United States for this category of students.
