About the
Department
The Department of Computer Science was
established at the beginning of the academic year 1995 with the programs of the
Bachelor’s and Master’s in computer science when it was initially hosted in the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. One of the principal objectives of
establishing the Department is to contribute to the developmental endeavors in
Jordan through preparing student graduates who are highly skilled and capable
to effectively engage professionally and academically in the industrial and
academic sectors. Upon establishing the College of Information Technology in
2001, the Department of Computer Science along with the Department of Computer
Information Systems formed the nucleus of the new college. The motivation behind
establishing the College of Information Technology was to keep abreast of
developments in the field of information technology and exploiting them professionally
as the College prepares its students for serving their country and the global
community at large. The Department always strives to enhance its academic
programs, in the undergraduate and graduate levels, to adapt to the latest
standards and developments in the field.
