The School of computer science and communication engineering is one of the professional colleges set up independently earlier in the field of Computer Science in China. It has the doctoral program of the first level discipline of computer science and technology, the postdoctoral research center of computer science and technology, the master program of computer science and technology, software engineering and Electronic Science and technology, the communication and information system and pattern recognition in intelligent system.

The School has 6 undergraduate majors, including computer science and technology, software engineering, communication engineering, information security, Internet of things engineering and Intelligent science and technology. Among them, computer science and technology, communication engineering are Characteristic Specialty of Jiangsu Province, and Internet of things engineering is the national comprehensive reform pilot specialty. Five majors passed Higher Engineering Education Accreditation.

At present, there are 32 doctoral students, 29 master students, and nearly 40 undergraduates. The college has 157 faculty members, including 14 doctoral supervisors, 31 professors and 55 associate professors. Eight famous experts are employed as part-time professors The college has 6 departments, 2 experimental centers,  and internet of things Engineering Research Institute, software system research institute, electronic and Communication Technology Research Institute, computer science internationalization department and other teaching and research institutions. The professional experimental center of the college is Jiangsu experimental demonstration center, with advanced experimental equipment and multiple high-end workstations. The college has the national "CAD application training base" determined by the Ministry of science and technology of the people's Republic of China, the "enterprise information software research center" ,"enterprise information software experiment center" jointly established with Kingdee company, and the "mobile communication innovation base" jointly established with China Mobile Zhenjiang Branch.

The college adheres to idea of taking teaching as the center, discipline construction as the leader, laboratory construction as the basis and teaching quality as the fundamental.
