MA/MS in Computer Engineering

Tandon's master's in computer engineering teaches the principles behind designing and integrating computer components and systems. It aims to place students at the forefront of telecommunications, networking and microelectronics. Industry and government collaborations give students practical experience in areas from verifying chips to embedded systems and computer architecture. Graduates may work in information technology, computer design, operating systems, networks and software applications. Applicants need a first degree in computer or electrical engineering or in computer science from a recognized institution. Students without such a background must complete undergraduate courses to remove gaps in logic design, architecture, data structures, algorithms and programming in C-family languages. The NYU Bulletin page for this degree sets out the course list with credit values and a sample plan of study, so prospective students can see how the requirements fit together before they apply.
