Are there graduate schools that are offering degrees in computer science where at least part of the course work can be completed online? I am tethered to my geographic locale. I already have a master's degree in CS so I would be going for my PhD this time. ...
I have a BA in liberal arts, and I'd like to go to graduate school to study computer science. My first job out of school (2 yrs) had me writing SQL and I've worked for the last 2 years writing SAS programs and some VBA and UNIX scripting, so I'm not totally clueless, but I'm not going to kid myself and am concerned that I'll be under pre...
I'm looking for a graduate program to get a MS in either Computer Science or Software Engineering. My question is simply, what is the best way to search for and select a grad school for these two programs? Can anyone give advice for selecting a grad school? Furthermore, can anyone point me to a good tech grad school in or around Chicago...
Community Wiki: tagged subjective I know that course selection is highly personal based on interests. I have time to take one graduate course next semester. Out of the available courses the following look the most interesting to me: Computer Security Introduction to Bioinformatics Real-time Systems Advanced Operating Systems Para...
I graduated from a Project 211 university in mainland China this April. I have promised a professor in Hong Kong to begin pursuing a Ph.D. under his supervision in September. However, after living in HK for several months, I find I want an American Ph.D. The main reason is that the US has the best research environment, and a US Ph.D. de...
I have a year left until I finish my BS in computer science. I want to go to graduate school, so I am in the midst of trying to decide where I want to go. I realize, of course, that in the end my decision will be dictated by where I get accepted, and what I can afford. That said, I would like to apply to places which are relevant to my...
I'll be starting a M.S. program soon and I'm trying to get a jump start. Below is a description-overview of my pending course. Is there a book on this topic that I could check out? I've checked out the text book that was used in previous class and the book is pricey and I'm not sure if it will be used in the coming course... A cours...
I recently came across Erlang, the programming language, and I've become interested in developing large scale real-time browser based web-applications. I'd like to know if there are any graduate courses, anywhere in the US, which will teach me about writing scalable web-aplications or something similar. ...
I graduated 4 years ago from a small college with a good computer science program, and I am interested in going back to grad school. My numbers (GPA & GRE) are good, but those don't matter nearly as much as I wish they did! CS grad programs understandably value research and recommendations in an application above all else, and I have n...
(For background purposes and context): I am a Software Engineer, and manage other Software Engineers currently. I kind of wear two hats right now: one of a programmer, and one as a 'team lead'. In this regard, I've started going back to school to get my Master's degree with an emphasis in Computer Science. I already have a Bachelor's ...
I am less then a year from graduating with my bachelors in web development, however I would like to continue on with a masters in programming. As far as I can tell, what I want is a masters in software engineering. Sadly my current college only offers more management oriented masters level degrees, and I want something that is programmi...
Long time admirer first time inquirer :) I'm working on a program which derives a deterministic finite-state automata from a context-free grammar, and the paper I have been assigned which explains how to do this keeps referring to "arbitrary probabilistic context-free grammars" but never defines the meaning of "arbitrary" in relation to...
I have kind of narrowed down what I want to do in graduate school. Kind of, and maybe that's the issue. I want to study sensor networks and embedded programming. But I really want to build things, or work with a team that is doing so. I've done some cool projects (for example, I took a wireless sensor networks class on SunSPOTs) and rea...
Hi all, Not sure if this is entirely on topic, but it seemed just as relevant as questions about programming books, etc., so here goes. I'm about to be a junior in college, planning on majoring in Computing and the Arts, which will be roughly half computer science and half music. I've programmed in my spare time for years, last year go...
I'm not exactly sure which stackexchange site to post this on, so I'll throw it on here and see how it goes. I recently graduated with a master's in computer science, and am looking to move onward towards a phd. What I am currently struggling with is what sort of program I'd like to go into. From what I understand, its something I sho...
So I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Software Engineering and I wanted to go back to school and get my M.S. I felt that my B.S. had too many holes on many topics such as patterns and testing. I am working on my M.S. now while I am working full time so I am getting practical experience. I am a little worried however of doubling ...
For a computer security graduate class: http://pastebin.com/NdA6kGQ6 That is what the professor has stated about the paper/project. I would prefer something more hands on like a project, but for the life of me can't think of something interesting. I am throwing it out there and trying to get some ideas flowing. Any ideas at all? I ...
Hello, I'm currently applying to graduate schools, with the intention of getting a PhD in a field between math and CS. I am currently majoring in math, but two years ago I took a class in Haskell and got really interested in functional programming in general. I was interested in both the elegance of the ideas, both the abstract ones and...
