Welcome to the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (Bren:ICS)!
As you begin to take the next steps in your life, I encourage you to explore information and computer science programs across the country.
Although you’ll see a variety of computing majors and courses, you will find that Bren:ICS stands out, not only in our broad range of courses across the entire field of computer science, but also in the depth of our offerings.
The Bren School is the only computer science school in the University of California and one of only a handful at top-ranked universities in the nation. With this comes a reputation for excellence.
An education here provides you with a blend of science, scholarship, technical skills, and practical experience that prepares you to achieve your dreams.
Just talk to our alumni or current students and you’ll see what I mean.
With over 70 faculty members in three departments — Computer Science, Informatics, and Statistics — Bren:ICS is in the unique position to offer five modern undergraduate degrees in computing.
These programs are dynamic and continually updated to stay ahead of future trends and technological advances.
We add new courses to our curriculum with exciting topics such as bioinformatics, computer security, gaming, and more.
Computer science now is as exciting as ever.
Opportunities for high-quality jobs in information technology are beginning to expand again.
Despite fears of offshoring, 2 million new information technology jobs will be created in the United States over the next ten years (see reason 1001).
Imagine the opportunities available to you...
Explore the bren:ten and our prospective student Web site to discover for yourself how Bren:ICS is the right place at the right time for you - right now!
