Your research experience is what you make it
A strong current of research and innovation runs through the halls of CCIS, from groundbreaking discoveries in artificial intelligence to critical insights in data science to pioneering experiments in robotics. They’re all made possible by our highly cited research faculty who make an impact every day. Your experiential education is backed by CCIS’s advanced computer science curriculum, but it is your research work that can truly accelerate your learning. Many doctoral candidates conduct research at CCIS or another university lab, while others gain industry exposure by interning at an outside organization in Boston or beyond.
