The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program in Computer Science is a two-semester professional development program designed to enhance practical skills. It roughly involves six courses and a project.

Flexible requirements make it possible to realize a broad range of CS-related career possibilities.  The program is energized by the diversity of research within the department and across the campus. If you majored in CS or a related field as an undergraduate, then the program can be used to deepen your technical expertise. The program also works for those students who "minored" in CS and who wish to push the computing envelope in their undergraduate field of study, e.g., chemistry, civil engineering, sociology, etc. Students with entrepreneurial ambitions can take specially designed courses from the Johnson Graduate School of Management. They can also develop projects that respond to IT-needs that surface all over campus.

Students enrolled in the M.Eng program can also pursue the new  "CS in Health and Medicine" track, offered in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan. This track allows students to earn their CS M.Eng degree over three semesters, where the middle semester is spent in New York City working on research projects with clinical faculty in Weill's department of Radiology. Interested students should contact Professor Ramin Zabih (  rdz@cs.cornell.edu ) for more information.

The deadline for January 2014 admissions is October 1, 2013. Apply now!

An M.Eng in computer science is also available at Cornell Tech in New York City. The program is similar to what is offered on the Ithaca Campus except that "entrepreneurial thinking" permeates the courses and the project.
