91¾«Æ·â€™s Computer Information Technology MS program provided me with a deeper understanding of the core concepts in Computer Science which is the foundation for any field related to Computer Science. A wide variety of elective courses exposed me to different topics within Computer Science (i.e., Artificial Intelligence, Compiler Design, Distributed Computing, etc.) that helped me decide the career to pursue after graduation. The final projects for each course and the Master’s thesis allowed me to apply the theoretical knowledge to build meaningful applications. The faculty in the CIT department was kind enough to collaborate and guide me in publishing two research papers during my time at 91¾«Æ·. I’m very grateful to 91¾«Æ· for offering such a well-designed program and the faculty who helped me throughout the program.
