In line with Augusta University's mission to become a top-tier research institution, School of Computer and Cyber Sciences faculty members are conducting research to stay one step ahead of today's ever-changing, technology-driven society. Research is a central component of both our new Computer and Cyber Sciences PhD program and the thesis track of the MS, Computer Science program. In addition, with most of our faculty pursuing research, there is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to apply their knowledge from the classroom to create solutions in each of our research faculty's research foci. The Computer Science Colloquium Series, held on Fridays, offers students an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research subjects in the areas of Computer Science, Information Technology and Cybersecurity.
