There arecurrently about 250 students enrolled, of which about 75 are part-timestudents and 175 are full-time students. Graduates are heavily recruitedby industry and academic institutions. Many highly regarded technicalorganizations in the area encourage their employees to take advantage ofthe opportunities for graduate study at UMCP.<P>These pages are intended to provide information about graduate study inComputer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Faculty are working in nearly every area ofcomputer science, and there are seven active, well-established research groupsin:<UL><LI>artificial intelligence<LI>computer systems<LI>computer vision / geometric computing<LI>database systems<LI>programming languages / software engineering<LI>scientific computing<LI>theory of computing</UL><P>A list of<!WA20><A HREF="http://www.cs.umd.edu/Department/Faculty.html">faculty</A>and <!WA21><A HREF="http://www.cs.umd.edu/Department/Areas.html">research areas</A>is available.<H2 ALIGN=CENTER>Facilities</H2><table><tr><td valign=top><p>The Computer Science Department and its research computing facilitiesare located in the A. V. Williams Building. Completed in January, 1988,this building was one of the first on campus to accommodate computing andnetwork connectivity. Each room contains wall plates providing connectionsto Ethernet, terminal, telephone and video cables. Gateways connect thebuilding's cables to the campus fiber optic network. The department hasfull Internet access and is a major electronic mail and UUCP server for theWashington, D.C. area.<P>The backbone of research activities is a Unix-based network of close to 300workstations, primarily Sun SPARCstations running SunOS, DECstationsrunning Ultrix, and DEC Alphas running OSF/1. The network includes anincreasing number of Macintoshes. In addition, students use machines invarious research institutes, which have nearly two hundred additionalworkstations, a 32 node CM-5 Connection Machine, a 16-node IBM SP-2, and a<td valign=top><p align=center><!WA22><img src="http://www.cs.umd.edu/Grad/junkfood.JPG" height=200 width=200><p align=center>The "Junkfood" Lab</td></tr></table>10-node quadprocessor DEC Alpha Farm. The department operates twoUnix-based open laboratories, which students may use both for research andcourse work. The Department of Electrical Engineering also administersUnix-based laboratories that are available for use by computer sciencestudents, and the Computer Science Center operates open worksation labs acrossthe campus.<P>An annex to the campus Program Library is located in the A. V. WilliamsBuilding and provides easy access to current journals and technicalreports. The Engineering and Physical Science Library is nearby, and thecampus boasts many other important research libraries.<H2 ALIGN=CENTER>More Research Opportunities</H2><P>Several independent research units on the College Park campus havestrong ties to the Department of Computer Science. The Center forAutomation Research (CfAR) includes the well-known University of MarylandComputer Vision Laboratory. The University of Maryland Institute forAdvanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) is the focus for computer-relatedresearch throughout the University of Maryland System. The Institute forSystems Research (ISR) is a center of excellence established by a NationalScience Foundation Engineering Research Center grant. Research supportfrom these research units supplements the Computer Science Department'sresources and helps to attract some of the brightest and best youngcomputer scientists to College Park.<P>The Baltimore-Washington area is a major center fortechnological development, and collaborations with industrial and governmentpartners in the area has spurred additional research.For example, the Center for Excellence in Space Data andInformation Sciences (CESDIS) atNASA has expanded opportunities for collaborative research.Also, the University of Maryland's Engineering Research Center (ERC), whichfosters cooperative research projects between industry and the University,has provided opportunities for collaborative research.<H2 ALIGN=CENTER>Lecture Series</H2><P>The Computer Science Department, CfAR, and UMIACS jointly sponsor theComputer Science at College Park DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES.Contributions by corporate members of the Computer Science IndustrialAssociates Program (IAP) make it possible to present distinguished computerscientists who are working at the forefront of the field. The lectures areheld weekly during the academic year and are open to the public.<P><HR><H1 ALIGN=CENTER>Applying for Admission</H1><H2 ALIGN=CENTER>Eligibility</H2><P>Our admissions decisions are based on the policies outlined below.However, each applicant is considered individually, and reasonableexceptions can be made in particular cases.<P>To be eligible for consideration for admission to our graduate program,your background should include much of the material covered in thefollowing courses (Numbers correspond to UMCP Course Listings):<UL><LI>CMSC 311: Computer Organization<LI>CMSC 330: Organization of Programming Languages<LI>CMSC 420: Data Structures<LI>CMSC 451: Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms<LI>MATH 140: Calculus I<LI>MATH 141: Calculus II<LI>MATH 240: Linear Algebra</UL><P>You must take both general and advanced Graduate Record Examinations(GREs). Your quantitative GRE score should be at least 700, and you shouldhave at least a B+ average in your undergraduate course work.<P>The admissions process is competitive, and satisfying the minimumrequirements will not guarantee you admission to the program. We admitabout one out of every ten applicants, and the averagequantitative GRE score for those who have entered in recent years has beenmuch higher than the minimum required.<P>The application deadline for Fall Semester admission is January 15.Your application must be received by the Graduate School on or before thatdate or it will not be processed. We urge foreign students to submittheir applications early, because it takes longer to process them. Foryour GRE scores to reach us in time, you should take the GRE examinationsno later than December.<P>The Spring Semester application deadline is October 15, but SpringSemester admission is available only if you are already a student at the⌨️ 快捷键说明
