Computer Science for a rapidly changing world.

In the Information Age, Computer Science and disciplined computational thinking are essential for competitiveness and leadership. Rensselaer's outstanding faculty brings leadership in their fields to the classroom and provide unique research experiences to give students a head start on careers of professional impact.

Undergraduate Programs

Critical thinking, professional training, new experiences and an opportunity to learn by application. Be part of a community that combines classroom and practical, real-world problem experience. Upon graduation our students are highly sought after by industry and are regularly recruited by top companies.
A master's degree is becoming increasingly valuable. A master’s degree in computer science enables students to round out their educations before embarking on their professional career. Accelerated master's degree programs save the cost and study time of graduate admission tests, application fees, and extra courses.
You can receive your Ph.D. seven years after starting college. Earn a head start that provides a great time advantage. Your next stop after graduation could be a fellowship at the Institute for Genomics Research, or the Fermi Laboratories, or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)... all at the age of 25.

Graduate Programs

A Ph.D. in Computer Science demonstrates the ability to attack problems independently and in depth. Rensselaer faculty provide strong mentorship, guiding Ph.D candidates to become the deep problem solvers needed for top positions in industry and faculty positions in academia.
An M.S. in Computer Science will demonstrate the skills, experience, and expertise need for professional success. Rensselaer's M.S. students are widely recruited for open-ended professional trajectories in the nation's top companies. Graduates have gone on to outstanding careers at all levels and many have started their own successful businesses.
