The College of Computer and Information Science offers students the opportunity to pursue studies in the broad field of computer science. The MS in computer science prepares you to work at organizations that design, develop, market, or utilize computing systems. You will learn to recognize and solve problems in the use of digital computers in business and engineering and in educational and research environments.
The PhD in Computer Science equips you to conduct state-of-the-art research in computer science, either in academia or in industry. You will assimilate ideas and concepts from theoretical studies and from in-depth, hands-on design, and programming of both large time-sharing systems and single-user microcomputers. Your experience and dissertation qualify you for a range of high-end careers in the field.
Northeastern University is offering a professional interdisciplinary Master of Science degree in Health Informatics (MS in HI) to respond to a critical shortage in health informatics professionals in New England and in the nation. This degree program draws on the technical expertise from the College of Computer and Information Science, as well as from the knowledge and practices of health professionals from the Bouve College of Health Sciences.
The PhD in Personal Health Informatics at Northeastern University prepares students to lead research and development of new person- and patient-facing technologies that will transform healthcare delivery within the U.S. and around the world. The program combines a strong foundation in human-computer interface technology and experimental design in health sciences with a research program focused on exploring how technology designed with a patient- or person-facing perspective might transform healthcare delivery. It brings together students who have a strong health science background and a desire to develop innovative technologies with students who have strong technical backgrounds and a passion for using technology for disruptive innovation in the health care industry.
In addition to focusing on technology to support healthcare, wellness, and coping with chronic conditions, the program provides a strong foundation in health science and experimental methodology in the health sciences, with practical experience gained during the program by immersion in one or move of Boston’s outstanding medical research institutions. Highly trained professionals with the skills and knowledge and experience to lead transdisciplinary teams in the design and validation of new health technologies are increasingly in demand in academia, industry, government, and non-profit public health organizations.
Information Assurance (IA) concerns the protection of information systems by ensuring data privacy and integrity, user authenticity, and legitimate use of system resources. IA professionals understand the relationship between information technology and people, systems, society, policy, and law. This interdisciplinary Master of Science and PhD program are offered jointly by the College of Computer and Information Science, the College of Engineering and the College of Social Sciences and Humanities and are the only such programs in New England. The National Security Agency/Department of Homeland Security have jointly designated the University as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research and Education. Graduates can expect to work in federal, state and local government agencies as well as commercial and financial organizations. The DoD Information Assurance Scholarship Program, as well as the NSF Cyber Service Scholarship Program, is available to full-time students with concentrated studies in information assurance and cyber security.
