Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at Texas State University-San Marcos.

The Department of Computer Science is one of the oldest computer science departments in the state. It is also a fast growing academic entity at Texas State University-San Marcos and the hub of computing related education and research activities on the campus.

The department offers the BS and BA degrees in computer science and a certificate program at the undergraduate level. At the graduate level, the department offers the MS degree in computer science and the MS degree in software engineering. We are in the process of establishing a PhD degree program. Our BS degree program is ABET-accredited. ABET, Inc. is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Our classes are taught by a combination of permanent faculty members and a smaller number of adjunct faculty members from industry who provide student access to cutting-edge knowledge. All of our faculty members are available to students outside the classroom. Our students have access to an amazing array of hardware, system software, and applications in our first-class computing facilities. We are rightfully proud of our degree programs.
