School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems
The School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems (SICCS) integrates a range of educational programs and interdisciplinary research. Our programs integrate computational and data sciences with engineering, natural and social sciences, arts, and business. Our faculty and academic programs combine expertise in environmental and ecological informatics, health and bioinformatics, computer science, and electrical engineering.
Our Degrees
We offer undergraduate and graduate programs in Informatics, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science. Our students are involved in a broad range of research and applied experiences. Explore our programs below!
Focus Areas
The School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems encompasses several focus areas among different departments.
Ecological and Environmental Informatics
Research
Our diverse faculty work closely with other university and regional researchers. This allows us to incorporate informatics and computing as an essential element of research and learning at NAU through collaborative research projects and joint course and degree program development.
