In 1998-99, student enrollment on the Stillwater campus was approximately 20,000, of whom about 7,500 were pursuing graduate degrees. Graduate enrollment in the Computer Science Department was 200 full-time students. The majority of graduate students in the department earned their undergraduate degrees in the sciences, but students with undergraduate degrees in other areas have completed a graduate program successfully. D. and Ph.D. students usually require 3 to 4 years beyond the master's degree. Most graduate students in the department are active in the local chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery.
