To Which DEGREE/Major do I apply for Software Engineering?

We are proud to announce our new Software Engineering Ph.D. and M.S. programs. This program is administered by the Department of Informatics, with the cooperation of the Department of Computer Science. While administratively, Software Engineering is housed within the Informatics Department, students can expect interaction and coursework with both departments.

To be considered for by the Software Engineering faculty, please choose the “Software Engineering MS” or “Software Engineering PhD” options in the application system.

What is the best way to get my application noticed?

In your essays, let us know about yourself.

1. What work are you most interested in? Take a look at our faculty’s websites and see what appeals to you.
   

2. How do you prefer to work? Are you a heads-down hacker, a collaborative brainstormer, a master designer, a studious bookworm, or something else altogether?
