Academics
The computer science department at the University of Virginia offers quality programs that emphasize basic science, technical mastery, research opportunities and a firm grasp of scientific principles as well as strong communication skills and creative problem solving.
Our excellent students work with highly motivated faculty on current and important problems. They receive great mentorship and individual attention, due in part to a smaller student/faculty ratio than other leading schools. Our department takes pride in its uniquely collegial culture of collaboration and cooperation, treating our graduate students as colleagues and partners in research. We have a commitment to excellence in instruction, with a world-class undergraduate curriculum that has been adopted by many departments around the country.
