For many decades, the diversity in computer science nationally has been disproportionally lower than in other science disciplines. The effort to increase our diversity in Computer Science has been energized by our participation in BRAID . We have graduated ~34% female for the last two graduating classes, nearly double the national average graduation rates. Our ability to send a greater number of our students to the Grace Hopper Conference for Women in Technology as well as additional diversity conferences each year has been directly related to our part in the BRAID initiative. Computer Science students continue to build a community that encourages women and underrepresented minorities to pursue studies in Computer Science. Here are some additional resources for diversity information at Rochester:
Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)
National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)
Women in Computing at Rochester (URWiC)
Computer science is a broad and in-demand field, influencing areas like health, entertainment, and big data.
At the University of Rochester, our emphasis on cross-collaboration and elite undergraduate and graduate programs prepares our students for industry, research, and academic positions.
