The School of Information Sciences, also The iSchool at Illinois, is an undergraduate and graduate school at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign. Its Master of Science in Library and Information Science is currently accredited in full good standing by the American Library Association. The school is a charter member of the iSchool ...
UIUC began computer research in the 1950s, initially for civil engineering problems, and eventually succeeded by cooperative activities among the Math, Physics, and Electrical Engineering Departments to build the Illiac computer series. This led to founding the Computer Science Department in 1965.
The department also sponsors a minor in computer science available to all UIUC students. The department also offers two 5-year bachelors/masters programs through the College of Engineering: Bachelor of Science/Master of Science (B.S./M.S.) in Computer Science and Bachelors of Science/Masters of Computer Science(B.S./M.C.S.).
