Emerging interdisciplinary fields. State of the art research in a world-renown university. Innovation and cutting-edge study with dedicated faculty, a few miles from Route 128, Boston’s technology corridor. Brandeis' graduate program in Computer Science offers courses and research opportunities in many of the core areas of Computer Science: databases, programming languages, artificial intelligence, networks and distributed and parallel computing, data compression, human computer interaction, and collaborative technology. You will have the opportunity to take courses and do research in many of the emerging interdisciplinary fields associated with Computer Science, such as neural nets and dynamical systems, computational linguistics, computational biology, and educational technology.

The graduate program in computer science is concerned with the fundamental concepts arising in the development and use of computing systems, including the study of computational complexity and information theory, theory of computation, the design and analysis of serial and parallel algorithms, the design of programming languages, systems, and artificial intelligence.

Brandeis’ Computer Science department consists of 10 faculty, all of whom are active in research, both in core Computer Science and in technology-oriented interdisciplinary areas such as computational biology, educational technology, artificial intelligence, algorithms design, parallel computing, programming languages, computer systems, machine learning, and robotics. The Computer Science Department is part of the Volen Center for Complex Systems, an interdisciplinary center for the study of complex computer and biological systems.
