Welcome to the Office of Graduate Affairs
The College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) Office of Graduate Affairs serves current and prospective graduate students, CECS faculty, and alumni of CECS graduate programs. It operates as the interface between CECS and the UCF’s College of Graduate Studies (CGS).

Mission & Objectives
Our mission is to support the development of highly advanced computer scientists and engineers who will build the future of Florida, our nation, and beyond.
Our office is committed to providing graduate students with the best experience during their time at UCF. We measure our success by the successes of the individuals whom we support. Alumni of CECS graduate programs are well-prepared as a part of the academic experience at UCF. These graduates are highly sought after for both industrial and academic positions. They create opportunities for current CECS students.
Why Choose UCF
With 10 doctoral programs, 18 master’s programs, and 10 graduate certificate programs, CECS is dedicated to ensuring each individual student has endless opportunities to grow.
