History
Between 1996 and 2006, the CS Department experienced growth in both students and funding. During that time the department's undergraduate program more than doubled from 246 to 638 students. However, enrollment began to follow a national trend of decreased enrollment since its peak in 1992. In the same time period, the departments funding received a six-fold increase from $1.3 million from 22 grants to $8.1 million from 41 grants.
The CS Department's PhD program has also grown since its inception. The PhD program began in 1988 and saw its first graduate in 1990. In the 2006-2007 school year, the CS department saw a record 25 PhD students graduate. As of the 2007-2008 school year, the department has 100 PhD students and 50 Masters students.

“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
