Historical Note

Computer Science & Engineering was established at the University of Washington as an inter-college graduate program in 1967. In 1975 an undergraduate program in Computer Science was added and departmental status in the College of Arts and Sciences was conferred. A second undergraduate program, in Computer Engineering, was added in 1989 when CSE moved to the College of Engineering. A Professional Master's Program was added in 1996, and a combined Bachelors/Masters program in 2008. In 2015 CSE had approximately 50 faculty, 75 technical and administrative staff members, 375 graduate students (200 in the full-time program and 175 in the Professional Masters Program, with typically twenty five Ph.D. degrees and thirty five Masters degrees awarded each year), and 700 undergraduate students (225 Bachelors graduates per year).
