Who We Are

The Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science is a community of people committed to tackling some of the world's biggest challenges. Cornell Bowers CIS is home to the three academic departments: Computer Science, Information Science, and Statistics and Data Science, and it pushes boundaries in the information age through its commitment to both developing state-of-the-art computing and information technologies, and in studying and understanding the societal and human impact of these technologies.

Cornell Bowers CIS is responding to tremendous growth in student interest by investing heavily to increase its faculty—with a goal to increase by 50% over the next few years, as well as increasing its staff infrastructure, including its financial teams. Growth will allow the college to foster research excellence, expand critical and emerging fields, and increase opportunities for cross-disciplinary and university-wide collaboration. The college’s Sponsored Research Administration Center (SRAC) delivers pre and post award research management and planning support to Principal Investigators conducting interdisciplinary research ($15M annual sponsored and $4M annual gift and corporate funding expenditures) within the college. Cornell Bowers CIS faculty are world leaders whose research is expanding fields of inquiry, developing core technologies, and examining the societal, sustainability, and ethical implications of technological innovation

Cornell's Computer Science department is one of the first of its kind, founded in 1965. Today, more than a half-century later, CS is part of Computing and Information Science (CIS), which was established as an academic unit in 1999 and celebrated its twentieth anniversary in October 2019. The following year, with a transformative gift from Ann S. Bowers '59, CIS became the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science.

The two-campus department—in Ithaca and New York City—has a full-time faculty of 62 members: of these, 49 are in residence at the Ithaca campus while 13 sit at the Cornell Tech campus in New York City. There are about 1,000 undergraduate CS majors (of which over 400 are women), approximately 200 resident Ph.D. students and 140 masters students. Over 300 undergraduate students graduate each year. 39.29% of majors are female; 12.78% are URM. In the incoming Ph.D. class, 45% are female and 5% are URM.
