Transforming the way we work, play, think, and live
Congratulations to PhD student Yiding Feng on receiving a Terminal Year Fellowship award for the 2020-21 academic year.
Congratulations to PhD student Connor Bain on receiving a Terminal Year Fellowship award for the 2020-21 academic year.
Congratulations to PhD student Maxwell Crouse on receiving a Terminal Year Fellowship award for the 2020-21 academic year.
The Building, Recruiting, and Inclusion for Diversity (BRAID) Initiative aims to increase diversity among undergraduate majors in computer science departments. As an affiliate, Northwestern CS will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from the cohort of BRAID schools by participating in the 2020 BRAID Summit taking place virtually on July 15-17.
Pushing the boundaries of computer science
Exploding the possibilities of interdisciplinary research
We are working to actively discover and support relationships between computer science and diverse disciplines across the University. In doing so, we can drive transformational connections and potentially spark entirely new fields of study.
Connecting with Chicago's growing technology sector
Situated along the lake, 12 miles north of downtown Chicago, Northwestern’s unique location offers unsurpassed access to research partnerships and networking opportunities at neighboring tech organizations.
Learning on the cutting edge
Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Combined BS/MS Degree Program
Minor in Computer Science
Note: The department offers a bachelor of science in computer science for students enrolled in the McCormick School of Engineering, as well as a bachelor of arts in computer science for students enrolled in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. The computer science-specific requirements of the two degrees are identical.
Northwestern students who are interested in changing their major, or simply sampling the computer science field, can take individual introductory courses.
Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence
Master of Science in Computer Science
PhD in Computer Science
PhD students may earn a specialization in cognitive science by taking six cognitive science courses and may elect to participate in the Crown Family Graduate Internship Program.
