The College of Computing and Informatics continues to experience tremendous growth since its establishment in 2000. The College offers
an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Information Technology with multiple tracks, including Computer Science, Software and Information
Systems, and Bioinformatics; M.S. degrees in Computer Science and Information Technology; a Professional Science Master’s degree in
Bioinformatics; B.S. and B.A. degrees; and certificate programs.
The College has gained national recognition through research institutes, including the Charlotte Visualization Center, the Diversity in
Information Technology Institute, and the Center for Digital Identity and Cyber Defense Research. The College is designated a National Center
of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research by the National Security Agency.
The College has taken a leadership role in developing bioinformatics programs in collaboration with the developers of the North Carolina
Research Campus. A billion-dollar, 350-acre research park, less than 20 miles from UNC Charlotte, the N.C. Research Campus was founded to
serve as home to research programs in metabolomics and plant genomics and a large number of biotech companies.
The College is housed in Woodward Hall, which opened in 2005. The Bioinformatics Research Center is scheduled to move in August 2009 to
