About The Department

The Department of Computer Science was established with the Faculty of Science in 1427 A.H. to prepare distinguished national graduates in computer science and keep abreast of the development of the educational boom in the Kingdom. The department currently offers a computer science program and grants a bachelor’s degree in computer science.

The Computer Science program consists of four tracks: Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, and a General Track in Computer Science. Each track consists of 134 credit hours, combining theoretical and practical lessons to equip graduates for entry into the workforce or further studies at the graduate level. The program has achieved notable success, with several batches of students excelling in their computer science studies. The program was keen to attract the best scientific talents to achieve the highest levels of excellence and creativity in this field. The Computer Science Program, together with its dedicated academic and administrative staff, is devoted to supporting student self-realization and skill development. This commitment is fostered within a nurturing educational environment marked by mutual respect and collaboration, reflecting a profound dedication and seriousness that effectively prepares students to meet the demands of the modern era.

The Department offers several academic programs, including:
