CSE has 33 faculty and appoximately 170 graduate students split equally between PhD and Masters students. Most full-time PhD students and some MS students receive financial assistance in the form of fellowships, research assistantships, or teaching assistantships. CSE's graduate programs are regularly ranked in the top 20 nationwide, as is UCSD as a whole. This has been an exciting year for CSE , including the hiring of several world class faculty, winning an NSF infrastructure grant, and having our Engineering School endowed. Applications for admission to the PhD and MS programs are considered annually, with a deadline of January 8.
Admissions are effective the following Fall quarter.
