Computer Science is the field for everything computational – from the theoretical foundations for algorithmic problem solving to the engineering of computational devices to the application of computer information technology in other fields.

• Offer undergraduate and graduate academic programs with rigorous curricula that instill a deep, long-lasting understanding of the principles of computer science, and that provide practical skills for a wide range of professional careers.
• Conduct cutting-edge research at the frontiers of computer science and in the interdisciplinary application of computational theory, methodology, and technology, with student participation at all levels (undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral).
• Promote and facilitate the use of computation as an effective means for scientific discovery, and also promote and facilitate intellectual cross-fertilization between computational researchers in different departments, divisions, and various Ph.D. programs at the CUNY Graduate Center.
• Provide computing and information technology education for all Queens College students through service courses and joint academic programs with other departments.
