UVic Computer Science Department
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Victoria was founded in the Faculty of Arts and Science in 1980. It is one of the top research departments in the country, attracting over $7 million in funding per year. Located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the department has 34 faculty members, 360 undergraduate students, and 137 postgraduate students. The current Chair of the UVic Computer Science Department is Sue Whitesides.

History
Computer Science courses had been offered through the Department of Mathematics since the university's inception in 1963. M.Sc. degrees were first offered in 1971 and a B.Sc. in Computer Science was first offered in 1975. In 1980, the Department of Computer Science was founded in the Faculty of Arts and Science. The Department moved to the new Faculty of Engineering in 1988, and joined two other computation intensive departments, forming an information technology based faculty.

The formal Ph.D. program was approved the same year, and in 1990 the Department moved into a new office building and in 1995 the adjacent laboratory building opened, housing all of the Department's teaching and research labs. The Computer Science Department and the Engineering & Computer Science/Math Co-op and Career Services moved into the new, state-of-the-art, green Engineering/Computer Science Building in May 2006.
