OVERVIEW
With 70 faculty members spanning three departments: Computer Science, Informatics and Statistics, a state-of-the-art 90,000 sq. ft. building and a recent $20 million gift from philanthropist Donald Bren, this is a very exciting time to be a part of the Bren School.
We invite you to explore our areas of research and respective faculty information.
You'll be joining our more than 200 Ph.D. and nearly 100 Masters students studying virtually every principle area within the fields of Computer Science, Informatics and Statistics as well as many new interdisciplinary areas.
Almost all of our Ph.D. students receive financial aid in the form of teaching assistantships or research assistantships during their time at UC Irvine.
Our graduates have received job offers from many top academic institutions and industrial labs.

Check out the Bren School's Ph.D. student directory which allows for an easy search of Ph.D. students by graduation date, advisor or research area. A simple keyword search of the student's current research work is also available. more ยปCOURSE LISTINGS Plan your schedule with the draft of courses the Bren School is planning to offer in the upcoming academic year: PH.D.DEGREES AND CONCENTRATIONS » Computer Science, (M.S. and Ph.D.) » Information and Computer Science, (M.S. and Ph.D.) » Concentration in Informatics in Biology & Medicine » Concentration in Informatics (See tracks ) » Networked Systems (M.S. and Ph.D.) » Statistics (M.S. and Ph.D.) ADDITIONAL M.S. CONCENTRATIONS » Concentration in Arts Computation Engineering » Concentration in Embedded Systems » General » Concentration in Knowledge Discovery and Data RELATED DEGREE
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (HSSOE) offers a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with concentrations in some areas within the field of Computer Science.DISCONTINUED CONCENTRATIONS:
These degree concentrations have been discontinued, but exist as specializations within the Computer Science degree. The degree requirements below are still available as a reference for students who enrolled in the concentration prior to its discontinuation.

After receiving a reciprocity fellowship from UC's Education Abroad Program (EAP) and spending one year at UCI, Ph.D. student Pablo Diaz-Gutierrez decided that graduate school at UCI was right for him. Always intrigued by programmable machines and their problem-solving capabilities, Diaz-Gutierrez notes that computer science can be applied to pretty much anything, thus providing many career options and the opportunity to develop oneself in a variety of fields.
