The college comprises the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Information Science, and the Department of Statistics and Data Science. However, as Cornell computer science professor David Gries has explained, "essentially it's a college without students," with students instead being admitted to, and coming from, three of Cornell's regular undergraduate schools: the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. A variety of degree programs are offered through the college, depending upon the department within the college and the originating college the student is in; the degrees granted include Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science; Master of Science, Master of Engineering, and Master of Professional Studies; and PhD. In addition, students from any of Cornell's seven different undergraduate schools can minor in computer science or information science.
