Happy 40th Anniversary for Computer Science!

CS 2050 invitation

Nearly 200 alumni (1960s-2000s), emeriti, faculty, students, staff, and other friends turned out on October 26 to celebrate the Department of Computer Science’s 40th anniversary and 52 years of computer science excellence at IIT.

The daylong event highlighted innovations that have come out of the department and the bright future of computer science as a field. Guests included past chairs Robert “Haas” Tobey, Bob Carlson, Edward Reingold and Bogdan Korel; emeriti Charlie Bauer, Peter Greene, Martha Evens, and Tzilla Elrad; and others.... More...

Computer Science at IIT: Where Can It Take You?

Computer Science at IIT: Where Can It Take You

At IIT, we teach you the foundations of computer science, so you will be able to quickly adapt to new technologies. For example, the programming languages of today may well be out of vogue in a few years, but understanding programming paradigms and when each is most applicable will enable you to keep up with the fast pace of change.

Beyond the fundamentals, IIT offers focused study in many areas of computer science, with courses in areas that include data mining, information security, artificial intelligence, and distributed computing. For bachelor's students, we also offer formal specializations in information security and in information and knowledge management systems. (In fact, the National Security Agency has designated IIT as a Center of Excellence in information assurance.) We also offer a master of science, a professional master's with 11 specializations, and a Ph.D. If you have a bachelor's degree and just want to extend your knowledge, we also offer non-degree graduate study and graduate certificates, both of which can be applied to a master's degree later on, if you wish.

CS Degrees, Certificates, and Non-Degree Study

For details on the different degrees, certificates, and non-degree study that we offer, download the brochure, view the undergraduate and graduate Computer Science programs, or visit the IIT College of Science and Letters blog.
