- The Computer Science Department at RPI is considering ways to make its
- Master's degree program more accessible to working professionals on a
- part time basis. In particular, we are considering "specialized"
- programs that would focus on particular specialties in computer
- science. These programs would consist of 30 credit hours (10 courses)
- beyond the Bachelor's degree.
-
- To help better determine the needs of part time students/full time
- professionals in such a program, we are conducting an informal survey.
- If you are interested in getting an MS, please answer the following
- questions. We also welcome more informal feedback; feel free to offer
- comments to:
-
- David Spooner John Valois
- spoonerd@cs.rpi.edu or valoisj@cs.rpi.edu
- 276-6890 276-4857
-
- In addition, you are welcome to attend the next meeting of the Computer
- Science Graduate Curriculum Committee; contact Dave or John above for
- more information.
-
- Feel free to distribute this to your colleagues as well.
