M.S. in Information Technology
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
is home to the Master
of Science in Information Technology,
a graduate program for working IT professionals. Details about this
program, including admission and curriculum information, can be
obtained
by calling the program office at 847/491-5931 or e-mailing infotech@northwestern.edu.
The Department also participates in the MS and PhD degree programs in Learning Sciences, and the Cognitive Science specialization.
Learning Sciences
(description is being updated)
Cognitive Science specialization
Computer Science graduate students may earn a specialization in Cognitive Science by taking five Cognitive Science courses. In addition to broadening the student's area of study and improving one's resume, students also benefit by attending Cognitive Science events and lectures, possible conference travel support, and cross-disciplinary exchange.
For more information on the Cognitive Science Specialization, please follow this link:
