The department of Computer Science (CS) was established in 1983. It was one of the College of Science departments until July 7, 1999. Then, it joined the College of Computer Science and Mathematics when it was first established on July 28, 1999. The department of CS aims to integrate the concepts of Computer Science and the other science fields. It also aims to enrich students with the required knowledge that contributes in developing many software projects that can be adopted by the local institutions. The department also seeks to enable students in evaluating different kinds of life problems/issues and how to find the optimal technological solutions. This is achieved by providing students with the most recent programming concepts and tools. In addition, the department tries to teach students on how to think properly, how to gain skills, and how to work as teams. This can be performed through the yearly regular projects, university and college competitions, and the graduation projects. Another goal of the department is to prepare the students to be qualified for the graduate programs (High Diploma, Masters, and Doctorate programs). Finally, the department of CS aims to bridge the market needs with its academic programs in a professional way.
