Course Overview

Our mission is advancing human understanding of Computing. We do this both through teaching and research. In teaching, we offer bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Information Technology. We offer master’s degrees in Computer Science and Digital Forensics and a Ph.D. in Computer Science. In research, we have a distinguished and active faculty who do research in the many areas listed below.

 In Computer Science we offer Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. We offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology and a Master of Science degree in Digital Forensics. We also share an MS degree program in Data Analytics with the UCF Department of Statistics and Data Science and the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems. We also share a joint PhD program in Big Data Analytics with the department of Statistics and Data Science. Finally, we are excited to have a new joint degree program with the Department of Finance in Financial Technology (FinTech).

Entry Requirement 

Degree Requirements:

  • Students are required to consult with a departmental advisor and file a plan of study after passing the foundation exam
  • Students must meet a Residency Requirement of at least 24 semester hours of regularly scheduled 3000-5000 level courses taken from the Computer Science Department at UCF 18 of the 24 Residency hours must be at the 4000-5000 level
  • Students must earn at least a grade of “C” (2.0) in each course in sections 2-5. In addition, students must maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in all courses in section 4.
  • Students in the Computer Science major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major in the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). Therefore,any student majoring in Computer Science who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of “C” (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of “C” (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors. Any student majoring in Computer Science who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below “C” (2.0) and withdrawals) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors.
  • A student who is excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after at least one full year has passed since exclusion. Readmission is not automatic and is dependent upon a high probability of success after readmission. Any student who is readmitted to the Computer Science major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.
