Applying to Graduate School in Computer Science

Even though you may have never considered the option of getting a graduate degree, I think it is important to know what would be the benefits and requirements before you conclude that this is not something you would be interested in.

NEW: Rowan's CS department maintains a mailing list for those students interested in graduate school. List archives and directions on signing up for the list can be found at http://elvis.rowan.edu/~csgradschool/

Below is a collection of links that might help you in making an informed decision about your future career. It is by no means an exhaustive source of information, but is intended to point you to some informative sites.

A very good source of information on different graduate programs can be found here.

General Information and Resources for Students who want to apply to Graduate School including:
