GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AT COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY


PROGRAMS

The Computer Science Department at Colorado State University seeks
outstanding students for advanced study leading to the M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees.  The M.S. program is designed for maximum flexibility so
participants may prepare for professional employment or advanced
graduate study.  The Ph.D. program is meant for well-qualified
individuals who desire careers in academic or industrial research.
While students may study in many areas, active research programs in
architecture, computational methods, graphics, artificial intelligence,
operating systems and distributed computing, software engineering,
parallel processing and functional languages provide special
opportunities for thesis research topics and assistantship support.
A common thread among many projects is parallel processing in a broad
definition including systolic, vector, shared-memory, and distributed
systems.  

The Department has 20 research faculty, 94 graduate students, and 
about 320 undergraduate majors.  Total enrollment at Colorado State
University for 1990-91 is about 21,000 regular, on-campus students,
of whom 3,400 are in graduate studies.  Forty-five percent of the
graduate students are women.  Students come from all 50 states and
94 foreign countries.

COMPUTING FACILITIES

For general computing the Department maintains a DECsystem 5000, two
DEC VAX-11 machines, a Sequent B21 multiprocessor, an HP9000/835SE,
two HP9000/350's, and two HP9000/320's, plus numerous Sun SPARC and DEC
workstations.  The Graphics Lab contains two HP9000/375 servers
and five /340 color workstations.  The Software Engineering Lab
contains one HP9000/S400 server and seven /400t workstations.  The
Architectural Studies Lab has one HP9000/S400 server and five /400t
workstations.  The Artificial Intelligence/Neural Nets Lab has five IBM
RS6000/320H workstations and five X terminals.  The Distributed
Computing Lab comprises an ATT 80386-based server networked with 
18 ATT 80386SX systems.  All of these systems run Unix and
are fully networked.  Several laser printers are available.
Apple Mac IIs with color monitors, X terminals and
character displays provide viewports, and modems support remote access.
Access to Internet, Usenet, and BITNET are available.  Computer science
researchers have access to several multiprocessor systems at remote
locations.  Campus facilities include several IBM RS6000 servers and
a visualization laboratory.


ADMISSION AND SUPPORT

Students holding a bachelor's degree and with an appropriate background
may apply to a graduate program.  For additional information and an
application form, direct correspondence to:

   Graduate Programs Coordinator
   Computer Science Department
   Colorado State University
   Fort Collins, CO  80523
   
or call 303/491-7327.  Electronic mail may be sent to
csgradinfo@CS.ColoState.EDU.

Applications are considered throughout the year but should be made as
early as possible.  All applicants who wish to be considered for
financial assistance should apply at least three months before registration
for their beginning semester.  All applicants must take the GRE, and
the Advanced Computer Science Test.  Foreign applicants must also take
the TOEFL.

Graduate teaching and research assistantships carry monthly stipends
and tuition payment for the academic year; half-time duties are required.
Smaller University fellowships are available with no attendant duties.
All support is awarded competitively; however, many students who seek
support do receive aid.  Some summer support is available.
