Graduate Programs
The College of Computing offers several types of graduate educational oportunities representing a vast range of faculty research and interdisciplinary collaboration. The College offers instructional and research programs in many areas including algorithms and data structures, intelligent systems and robotics, computer architecture, cognitive science, databases, distributed and parallel systems, educational technology, graphics and visualization, human-computer interaction, information security, information systems, networking and telecommunications, operating systems, parallel architectures, programming languages, software engineering, and the theories of automata and computation.
The College conducts an increasing number of interdisciplinary research and instructional programs jointly with other campus units and operates three centers of interdisciplinary research for the campus: the Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems (CERCS); the Graphics, Visualization, and Usability (GVU) Center; and the Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC). The College's operations are housed in parts of five separate buildings on campus, including the College of Computing Building.
The College of Computing awards master's degrees in computer science and in information security, and doctoral degrees in computer science. The College offers garduate certificates in Cognitive Science (jointly with the Schools of Psychology and Industrial and Systems Engineering) and Modeling and Computer Simulation (jointly with the College of Engineering). The College also offers the M.S. degree in Human-Computer Interaction in collaboration with the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture and the School of Psychology. The College is a sponsor of a multidisciplinary program in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization (ACO), an approved doctoral degree program at Georgia Tech, and master's and doctoral degrees in Bioengineering can be pursued through the College as one of the units participating in the Institutewide interdisciplinary Bioengineering Program.
