Learning Beyond the Classroom

With faculty-led research opportunities, labs, projects, internships and student organizations, there are many ways to get involved and gain practical experience through computer science at UD. Assistantships and summer fellowships are also available to computer science graduate students.


Capstone Project

Computer science majors complete a two-semester capstone project that allows students in their senior year to work with a company in the Dayton area. Students are assigned a problem and develop a solution that will benefit the company.

Internships

Through practical learning opportunities like internships and co-ops, you can build your resume, gain practical experience and prepare for a successful career.

Association for Computing Machinery

ACM is one of the world's largest organizations for computer scientists and people interested in computers. Our students participate in ACM events such as Hack The Box.

National Cyber League

Students from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Dayton have been involved in the National Cyber League competition since Spring 2019, when the team ranked No. 19, nationally.

Faculty Research Opportunities

Students at both undergraduate and graduate levels are always welcome to aid with faculty research. For details, please contact the faculty member whose research projects best fit your interest.

Labs

Our students learn the latest cutting edge technology through hands-on experience in labs such as VR/AR, interactive media, intelligent systems security, cyberspace, cyber-physical systems, programming languages and vision and mixed reality.


Additional Graduate Student Opportunities

Department Assistantships

Assistantships are offered to outstanding graduate students. View open positions and application instructions and contact UDGradSchool@udayton.edu if you have questions.

For additional information, consult with the chair or the faculty member you plan to assist.

Summer Fellowships

The University of Dayton provides a number of graduate student summer fellowships for research and creative projects during the third term of the academic year. The intent of the fellowship is to provide a modest income for the graduate student who wishes to devote time to a research project.

This fellowship is intended to assist in the completion of the student's master's thesis or doctoral dissertation research, or research leading to publication.
