Prospective Graduate Students:
Why Join Us?
A great friend of mine, Peter Fagg, once said many years ago:
'Fred, there are three great technical challenges of our times:
sending a man to the moon, the conquest of cancer, and the
computer revolution. Isn't it great to be part of one of
them!'
Dr. Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.
Kenan professor and Department founder

Why UNC-Chapel Hill?
Your decision about which graduate school to attend is
a very important one, one that affects not only your
graduate career but also your future after graduation.
These are some of the many questions you may be asking
as you make your decision:
- Is the department involved in the research areas
I am interested in? Does it provide research opportunities
in that area, and are there faculty with whom I can collaborate?
- What is the department's philosophy on teaching and
research?
- How large is the department? How many students and how
many faculty?
- What resources (computers, offices, laboratories) can
the department offer?
- What kind of financial support can I expect?
- How do graduate students participate in the life of
the department?
- What is the university and the community around it like?
- What kinds of activities and extracurricular opportunities
are there at the university and in the community?
On these pages we hope to answer these and other questions
for you and to help you decide that Computer Science at
UNC-Chapel Hill is the right place for you. |
