Pace University's School of Computer Science and Information Systems

Posted on: Monday, 5 September 2005, 03:01 CDT

Pace University's School of Computer Science and Information Systems (CSIS), one of the oldest comprehensive school of computing in the country, offers a broad range of graduatelevel programs to meet the needs of the recent graduate, working professional and career-changer. Offerings include an MS in computer science, an MS in information systems, an MS in Internet technology, an MS in telecommunications and an MS in software design and development (New York City campus only). Advanced level certificates in numerous computing disciplines are also available.

CSIS has recently revised its MS in IT program to reflect the rapid growth of this diverse and exciting field and to satisfy the educational requirements of the computing industry. The new curriculum features sequences in key knowledge areas including security and information assurance, Internet technology for e- commerce, network administration and telecommunications management, supported by a core of courses that provides the student with a solid foundation in Internet technology. A similar revision to the MS in information systems is underway.

For information regarding this or any of our other MS programs visit http://csis.pace.edu or call (914) 422-4191.

Nearly six years ago, CSIS introduced a uniquely innovative doctoral program - the Doctor of Professional Studies (DPS) in Computing. Since that time, 32 individuals have earned doctorates and have gone on to make impressive contributions in the corporate and academic sectors. The DPS, a three-year, 48-credit program, provides the IT professional the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree while continuing to work full time. Classes are held one weekend per month at the Graduate Center in White Plains and are supplemented by ongoing interaction online.

For additional information about this program visit the DPS Web site through http://csis.pace.edu, e-mail your inquiry to csisdps@pace.edu or call (914) 422-4447.

In addition, the School provides a wide range of noncredit offerings through the Pace Computer Learning Center (PCLC). The center offers numerous workshops in project management, PC applications, Web development, Web services, operating systems and software/application development.

Customized classes, training programs and consulting are available to corporate clients. Also, the Technology Center for Education and Community Development provides professional development for teachers and nonprofit agencies and is the recent recipient of a $25,000 grant, along with the Westchester Not-for- Profit Technology Council, from Verizon to assist the more than 400 nonprofits in Westchester County with their need for current and timely technology information.
