MS and PhD in Computer Science (MDCC/UFC)
Abstract
The graduate program (MS and PhD) in Computer Science at the Federal University of Ceará (MDCC/UFC) promotes excellence, innovation and creativity for solving problems in the field of Informatics. Its mission is twofold: to prepare highly qualified people and to contribute to the scientific and technological development of the field. The MS program in Computer Science started its activities in 1995. In 1997, it was officially approved by CAPES (the Brazilian agency responsible for higher education regulation), which, in 2001, considered it a consolidated MS program by awarding it a score of 4 out of 7. The PhD program in Computer Science was authorized by CAPES in 2004, and started its activities in 2005. In the most recent triennial evaluation of CAPES (2010-2011-2012), MDCC/UFC was awarded a score of 5 out of 7, in recognition of its academic excellence both nationally and internationally.
