It conducts both research and teaching activities related to computer science at the undergraduate and graduate levels. These activities focus on the roots of the computing discipline, including mathematical foundations and system building principles and practices.

History

The School of Computer Science was formed in February 2007, when the former Computing Science and Systems Division was renamed and promoted to "School" status. Along with its sibling academic unit, the School of Interactive Computing, the School of Computer Science represents the first time a college-level computing program has delineated the field into separate but related bodies of study.

Degrees offered

The School of Computer Science offers bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degrees in several fields. [ cite web | url=http://www.cc.gatech.edu/inside/units/cs/degree-programs | accessdate=2008-01-27 | publisher=Georgia Institute of Technology College of Computing | title=Degrees Offered ] These degrees are technically granted by the School's parent organization, the Georgia Tech College of Computing, and often awarded in conjunction with other academic units within Georgia Tech.
