The Masters of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the Computer Science and Engineering programs offer study and research in several areas of specialization including Computer Graphics (Electronic Visualization EV). Students seeking a specialty in EV will study and conduct research coinciding with the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) research goals.
The Masters of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the Computer Science and Engineering programs are highly competitive international programs that accept new students in the Fall of each year. Graduate catalogues are available online: www.uic.edu/gcat or for purchase through the UIC Bookstore.
Over the past ten years, EVL’s focus has been on the development of advanced visualization devices and applications for collaborative exploration of scientific, engineering and other interactive environments over national and global high-speed networks.
Students focus upon creating and refining the infrastructure, tools and techniques, which drive these efforts. Opportunities for collaboration with leading researchers to develop visualization applications in areas such as computational science, engineering, networking, mathematics, medicine, industrial design, education, architecture and art are numerous. Research Assistantship (RA) and tuition waivers are available for students in support of funded research projects.
Application and admission to the MS or PhD programs is made directly to the Department of Computer Science. Detailed information on How to Apply can be found on the Department’s Graduate Admissions webpage.
