Computer and Information Science (CIS) at the University of Oregon is a leading computer science department established in 1970. It has been consistently ranked among the top 100 computer science programs over the decades. U.S. News & World Report currently ranks the graduate program as tied for 63rd with Iowa State University, University at Buffalo—SUNY and the University of Iowa, placing the computer science program 1st in the state of Oregon.
In the past 20 years, students and researchers from the CIS department have made developments in the fields of algorithms, artificial intelligence, computational biology, computer networks, data science, human–computer interaction, parallel processing, quantum computing and software engineering.
Initially founded in 1970, Deschutes Hall was dedicated for the CIS department on Oct. 16, 1989 as the part of a $45.6 million dollar project with the Cascade, Streisinger and Willamette Halls in the current Lokey Science Complex. Deschutes Hall on the UO campus was complete in the Winter Quarter of 1990, along with the other Halls in the same year. Construction of the building was funded primarily through a United States Department of Energy grant sponsored by Oregon governor Victor G. Atiyeh and United States senator Mark Hatfield. Deschutes hall is connected by a skybridge to the Lewis Integrative Science building. The department is part of the College of Arts and Sciences.
