About the college:

Computer & Information Technology is by far the largest & fastest growing industry in the world. Demand for high performance computing is a driving force for developments in all aspects of business & education. At the same time, computers have become an integral part of many large systems that require sophisticated control, including automobiles, medical instrumentation, telecommunication systems & factory automation. Computers play a major role in many of today's exciting new technologies, including consumer products, interactive multimedia & high-speed computer networks. The development of these applications requires skilful professionals qualified in both hardware & software design. As a result of this increased demand for highly skilled graduates in Information Technology, the College of Computer Science & Information Technology (CCSIT) in King Faisal University (KFU) was established in 2003. It has roots in the Department of Computer & Information Management Systems (previously part of the College of Management Sciences & Planning)

The new Faculty comprises the following Departments:

1.Computer Science Department (CS)
2.Information Systems Department (IS)
3.Computer Engineering Department (CE)
4.Communications & Computer Networks Department (CN)
Currently, each of the CS & IS Department offers a separate curriculum leading to a B.Sc. Degree in Computer Sciences & Information Systems respectively. On the other hand, the other two departments; CE & CN offer courses that are included in both the Computer Science curriculum & Information Systems curriculum. In the future, each of these two departments will offer a separate curriculum leading to a B.Sc. Degree in Computer Engineering & Computer Networks.
