The CSE Department has dual affiliation with the College of Arts and Sciences and with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. This organization reflects UB's commitment to a modern integrated environment for research and education in computing, suited to the emerging shape of information science and technology in the new millennium. Rapid expansion of computers into areas such as multimedia, telecommunications, and electronic commerce have created new enterprises, new industries, new ways of conceiving knowledge and art. These new expressions of computation are best studied in a flexible, integrated environment in which computer science and computer engineering are parts of a whole, and in which partnerships with other disciplines are routine. Educationally, we offer B.A., B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees with a focus in either computer science or computer engineering. We currently offer three joint degree programs with the MBA program, the Civil Engineering Department, and the Physics Department, with others under review. In keeping with the current trend of emphasizing Masters' degrees, we offer a combined B.S./M.S. program in Computer Science.
