Master of Science

Computer Science

Overview

DePaul's graduate Computer Science program is the premier training ground for computing professionals in the Chicago area. Unlike a certificate program, our master's courses focus on fundamental concepts that remain constant, even as technology changes rapidly. Unlike more research focused institutions, however, our courses emphasize the programmatic application of these fundamental concepts. Students interested in research will find an abundance of advanced topics --- medical imaging, data mining, algorithmic analysis, and scientific computing, to name a few.

"Feel free to ask me anything from what its like to be a student here to whats the difference between game programing and design concentrations. I have taken classes at another college while going here and know the processes that transfer students need to go through. I also am on track to graduate in three years and I know a lot of the cool and helpful programs at DePaul. I can help with general questions or more specific questions you have about DePaul."
