The department has recently completed a major revision of the Computer Science curriculum which you can view in the new bulletin entry for Computer Science.or by perusing the Academics section of this website.

This fall we launched our new MA in Computer Science and IT Entrepreneurship program which is now accepting students. This innovative program extends our traditional MA in Computer Science with a 4 course sequence in Entrepreneurship in which the students develop prototype software for a new IT business and create a business plan to support their software. This is also the second year of our MA in Computational Linguistics which is now accepting applications for the class entering in Fall 2010.

The Justice Brandeis Semester in Web and Mobile Applications has just been approved and will be offered in the Summer of 2010. This is an intensive summer program for Brandeis students (graduate and undergraduate) which consists of a suite of three closely related, co-requisite courses in Web and Mobile Applications. There is an optional Extended Semester version of the JBS program in which students continue on into the Fall with a full-time internship course as well as a readings course on web and mobile applications. Early decision applications will be accepted in late January followed by the usual application period in March.

The Computer Science Department offers students the unique opportunity to explore the fundamentals of both theoretical and practical aspects of computing in preparation for creative jobs in the computer industry or higher education. In addition the curriculum provides a stimulating and useful preparation for a number of related fields such as law, medicine and economics. Computer Science is by its nature interdisciplinary because much of the research in this field is driven by the numerous and diverse applications of computer technology. Accordingly, the department offers interdisciplinary courses within the department (such as Bioinformatics and Internet & Society) as well as providing Computer Science elective credit for a wide variety of courses offered in other departments. These range from Anthropology courses on Virtual Communities and Social Relations in Cyberspace, to Microelectronics Laboratory courses in Physics.
