The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is part of the J.B. Speed School of Engineering. The Speed School comes under the University of Louisville. Our Department offers Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Master of Engineering (M. Eng.) degrees. The baccalaureate program in Computer Science and Engineering consists of a four-calendar-year integrated sequence of academic course work and cooperative experience.
The Bachelor of Science and the Master of Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
UofL’s Bachelor of Science degree program in Computer Science and Engineering is also accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
Mission Statement

BS CSE Student Outcomes (EAC)
Students in the BS CSE program will have the ability to:
- identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
