The '''College of Computing''' is a college of the [[Georgia Institute of Technology]], a [[Public university|public]] [[research university]] in [[Atlanta, Georgia]]. It is divided into four schools: the [[Georgia Institute of Technology School of Computer Science|School of Computer Science]], the [[Georgia Institute of Technology School of Interactive Computing|School of Interactive Computing]], the [[Georgia Institute of Technology School of Computational Science & Engineering|School of Computational Science & Engineering]], and the [[Georgia Institute of Technology School of Cybersecurity and Privacy|School of Cybersecurity and Privacy]]. The College of Computing's programs are consistently ranked among the top 10 computing programs in the nation.<ref name=rankings>{{cite web|url=https://www.gatech.edu/about/rankings|title=Rankings|publisher=[[Georgia Institute of Technology]]|accessdate=2021-07-22}}</ref> In 2022, ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'' ranked the Computer Science graduate program #6 in the U.S.<ref>{{ cite press release|url=https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/computer-science-rankings |title=Best Grad Schools: Computer Science: US News Graduate Schools |date=2022-04-11 |access-date=2022-04-12 |publisher=U.S. News & World Report |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220411040444/https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/computer-science-rankings |archive-date=2022-04-11 }}</ref> In 2016, ''[[Times Higher Education]]'' and the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' ranked the College #5 in the world.<ref>{{ cite press release|url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2017/subject-ranking/computer-science#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats |title=World University Rankings 2016-2017 by Subject: Computer Science |date=2016-09-27 |access-date=2017-07-11 |publisher=Times Higher Education/Wall Street Journal }}</ref>
The College of Computing has its roots in the creation of an interdisciplinary [[Master of Science]] in [[Information Science]] at Georgia Tech in 1964.<ref name="History"/> The college still emphasizes an interdisciplinary focus in the structure of its degree programs, among which is a [[Bachelor of Science]] in Computational Media that is offered jointly with Georgia Tech's School of Literature, Media, and Communication in the [[Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts]].

{{Main|History of Georgia Tech}}
===Early years===
Georgia Tech's College of Computing traces its roots to the establishment of an Information Science degree program established in 1964. In 1963, a group of faculty members led by Dr. Vladimir Slamecka and that included Dr. Vernon Crawford, Dr. Nordiar Waldemar Ziegler, and Dr. William Atchison, noticed an interdisciplinary connection among library science, [[mathematics]], and computer technology. The group drafted an outline for a masters-level program that would combine elements from each of these disciplines. The Georgia Tech administration accepted the plan to establish a [[Master of Science]] in [[Information Science]] which was first offered in 1964 under the School of Information Science. Dr. Slamecka, who had spearheaded the effort, was named the school's first chair.<ref name=History/>
In 1970, the school began offering a minor degree program for all Georgia Tech students, and was renamed to the School of Information and Computer Science (ICS). Two years later in 1972, ICS expanded to offer an undergraduate degree for students. It also partnered with [[Emory University]] to create a joint graduate program in [[Biomedical Information]] and [[Computer Science]], the first partnership of its kind.<ref name=History/>
In 1979, ICS's first director and primary founder, Dr. Slamecka, retired from the position after 15 years. Dr. Ray Miller, [[IBM]]'s Assistant Director of Mathematical Sciences, was hired in his place. Under Miller, the School of Information and Computer Science began a trend which began to move away from information science and towards computer science.<ref name=History/>

===College===
In [[John Patrick Crecine]]'s 1988 reorganization of the Institute, the School was broadened as the College of Computing, one of the school's five (and as of 1998, six) colleges. The move toward elevating the school to the status of an academic unit was partly in response to [[Carnegie Mellon University]]'s creation of their [[Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science|School of Computer Science]], and as a result, Georgia Tech was the first university in the United States to have a ''College'' of Computing.<ref name="History"/> The school hired its first dean, [[Peter A. Freeman]], in 1990,<ref>{{cite web|first=Raymond E|last=Miller|url=http://www.cs.umd.edu/special-events/miller-workshop/memoirs.pdf|title=Over 50 Years in Computing: Memoirs of Raymond E.

==Academics==
The College of Computing offers the [[Bachelor of Science|B.S.]], including a degree in [[Computational Media]] offered as a joint degree with the [[Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts]]. It also offers the [[Master of Science|M.S.]] and [[Doctor of Philosophy|Ph.D.]] in multiple disciplines, including several offered as joint degrees with other colleges in the university. Graduate certificates are also available.
==OMSCS==
{{Main|Georgia Tech Online Master of Science in Computer Science}}
The Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) is a degree program which has the same teaching material as [[Massive online open course|MOOCs]], leading to a fully accredited Masters qualification, presented in conjunction with [[Udacity]]. A contribution of $2 Million from [[AT&T]] has funded the initial development of the program as well as continuing integration of technology.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/faq/|title=Frequently Asked Questions - OMSCS|publisher=Georgia Institute of Technology|access-date=2016-01-08}}</ref>
The program is designed and maintained to present a level of academic challenge entirely equivalent to a traditional MSCS course, with equivalent academic rigor as a founding principle.<ref name="Georgia Institute of Technology">{{cite web|url=http://www.news.gatech.edu/features/so-how-about-online-computer-science-degree|title=So, How About That Online Computer Science Degree|publisher=Georgia Institute of Technology|access-date=2016-01-08}}</ref> The estimate of the cost of studying the course is however very different; being in the region of $7,000 for a student completing the Masters course in 2 years: composed of the minimum 10 for graduation 3-credit-hour courses at $510 per course plus $301 enrollment fee per semester for say 6 semesters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/program/|title=Program Info - OMSCS|publisher=Georgia Institute of Technology|access-date=2016-01-08}}</ref>
The first semester of study, in Spring 2014, some 400 students were enrolled in the program. In January 2015 some 2,000 students were enrolled in the program.<ref name="Georgia Institute of Technology"/> As of Spring 2020, enrollment had risen to over 9,500 students, and the program has produced about 3,500 graduates to date.
Enrollment is accessible without restriction on the basis of citizenship, residence, or visa status, to students from all around the world. However, the vast majority of enrolled students are US citizens. The program does, however, mirror the gender imbalance found in many CS courses, with female students considerably outnumbered.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.omscs.gatech.edu/prospective-students/numbers|title=The Numbers - OMSCS|website=Georgia Institute of Technology|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180427212559/https://www.omscs.gatech.edu/prospective-students/numbers|archive-date=2018-04-27|access-date=2018-04-27}}</ref>
==Research==
The College of Computing is the third-highest of Georgia Tech's six colleges (behind the larger and older [[Georgia Institute of Technology College of Engineering|College of Engineering]] and [[Georgia Institute of Technology College of Sciences|College of Sciences]]) in research awards, with 139 proposals worth $93,737,529 resulting in 119 awards worth $14,579,392 in 2006.<ref name="scope">{{cite web|url=http://www.irp.gatech.edu/apps/factbook/?page=129|title=Research Scope|work=Georgia Tech Fact Book|publisher=Georgia Institute of Technology|access-date=2007-08-11|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080507151132/http://www.irp.gatech.edu/apps/factbook/?page=129|archive-date=2008-05-07}}</ref>
