Carnegie Mellon University


Carnegie Mellon University announces a new Master of Science in
Intelligent Information Systems (MIIS) professional degree.  The MIIS
degree provides advanced study and practical experience in areas of
Computer Science focused on the processing and analysis of
unstructured and semi-structured information, for example, text,
image, video, speech, and audio information. It is a practice-oriented professional degree designed for students who want to rapidly master
advanced content-analysis, mining, and intelligent information
technologies prior to beginning or resuming leadership careers in
industry and government.

Just over half of the curriculum consists of graduate courses. The
remainder provides direct, hands-on, project-oriented experience
working closely with CMU faculty to build systems and solve problems
using state-of-the-art algorithms, techniques, tools, and datasets.

A typical MIIS student completes the program in one year (12 months)
of full-time study at the Pittsburgh campus.  Part-time and distance
education options are available to students employed at affiliated
companies.

The application deadline for the Fall 2013 term is December 14, 2012.
