The Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) in the College of Science and Technology at Temple University is one of the oldest computer science departments in the country with a tradition of providing high-quality education and pursuing exciting research directions. In 2015, as we celebrated 50 years of Computer and Information Sciences at Temple University, we had an opportunity to reflect on our proud history and envision our future. Building on our past, our internationally-recognized 24 tenure-track faculty, 22 full-time instructional faculty, our adjuncts and staff, and more than 1,000 undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students, are helping CIS rise towards the next level of excellence in the quality and breadth of our academic programs and research endeavors.
Based on the objective measures of research productivity, the well-respected ARWU Shanghai ranking recently placed Temple’s CIS department among the top 60 computer science departments in the country and the top 150 computer science departments in the World. Our recent graduating student placement survey revealed that 90% of our undergraduate students have a job offer in the IT field before their graduation and that our doctoral students typically have multiple job offers from the top IT companies before they graduate.
