The Bren School began as a department in 1968. More than 35 years later, it was formally recognized as a school - and in June 2004, the School adopted benefactor Donald Bren's name in recognition of his generous contribution and visionary leadership.
Building on our strong foundation of computer science fundamentals, the Bren School conducts cutting-edge research in strategic areas ideal for collaborative work.
By blending research with education in multiple disciplines, the Bren School is leading interdisciplinary efforts in order to meet the challenges of the future.
