Departmental Facilities

The School has state-of-the-art computing labs to support both instruction and research needs. The main lab for computer science classes consists of 40 Dell computers running both Linux and Microsoft windows operating systems. Six computer classrooms, with more than 30 computers each, are ideal for upper classes and special lab sessions. Lab computers are upgraded regularly. The School strives to provide our students with the latest technologies. We offer both Windows and Linux platforms so that our students are well-prepared for a career as a software professional under those two leading industry-standard platforms. The School is a member of the Microsoft Imagine, Oracle Academy and VMWare Academic Program. 

All mathematics and statistics classrooms are multimedia classrooms, allowing instructors to use a variety of teaching tools and techniques. Distance learning rooms, used for graduate courses in mathematics and statistics, are outfitted with microphones and cameras so that students can attend class virtually. Computers in a dedicated statistics classroom run statistical software including r and SAS. Two student common areas provide a space for students to collaborate on homework and projects, as well as relax between classes. These rooms are conveniently located near faculty offices to help establish a community of learners.
