What is Information and Computer Science?

What university has a one-year master's degree in information science, computer science, or HCI?

  • As I know, http://infosci.cornell.edu/ provides one year master degree in information science. Has anyone knows is there any other school also provide one year master degree in information science, computer science or hci ?

  • Answer:

    Yale does too. Most others have 5 year BS+MS programs, but I am not taking those into account in context of this answer. Mind you, it is non-thesis. Possibly best suited for international students who studied in countries outside USA, in search of advancing their resume and landing a job which they couldn't have landed with their current degree, and since it is harder to get an entry level job in the USA if you haven't studied in the US before. It will also be very expensive, without any scholarships/ fellowships that grad students generally receive. In short, it won't be anything different than an extended undergraduate program just to get the university's "sticker"- and since any potential employer will look closely into your profile, they will know this too. (If you're doing a MS to get into a managerial position in a top company as they often require, do an MBA instead) So don't go into one just for the hell of saving an year of your life.
