The computer science department offers comprehensive M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs that focus on computer network security, software engineering, web databases, wireless systems, intelligent systems, data mining, parallel and distributed processing pervasive computing, computer networks, scientific visualization, and algorithms. These research activities support the department's two major areas of excellence: software engineering and critical infrastructure protection.
The computer science department at Missouri S&T makes use of both its own computer learning center (CLC) as well as university CLCs. The CLC contains a mix of Linux and Windows computing platform. Class sizes are kept small to facilitate student and faculty interactions. Research laboratories provide support for both undergraduate and graduate students. These laboratories include:
- Advanced Networking and Cyber-Physical Systems Laboratory
- Applied Computational Intelligence Laboratory
- CReWMaN Laboratory
- Critical Infrastructure Protection Laboratory
- Cybersecurity Laboratory
- Data Mining Laboratory
- Pervasive and Mobile Computing Laboratory
- Web and Wireless Computing (W2C) Laboratory & Net-Centric Center
Wired and wireless computer access is available to all students, faculty, and staff.
