Prospective Students

Dena Haritos TsamitisWelcome from the Director

The decision to go to graduate school is a momentous one. It is a huge commitment of your time and money, and you want to be sure that you are making the right choice.

Students of the INI can feel confident that they have made the right choice. We attract students who want to go further—students who want to become innovators in the fields of information networking, information security, mobility and software management.

Carnegie Mellon has a College of Engineering that consistently ranks among the top ten engineering schools in the country, so you can be sure of receiving a top-notch education here. The INI's master's degree programs go beyond the ordinary computer science and engineering program to give students management, strategic thinking and policy skills, in addition to a strong technical foundation.

I invite you to take a look at our programs, our faculty and our facilities and see for yourself how the INI can give you the skills you need to succeed in the competitive world of information technology.
