The Computer Science Department at RPI is considering ways to make its
Master's degree program more accessible to working professionals on a
part time basis.  In particular, we are considering "specialized"
programs that would focus on particular specialties in computer
science. These programs would consist of 30 credit hours (10 courses)
beyond the Bachelor's degree.

To help better determine the needs of part time students/full time
professionals in such a program, we are conducting an informal survey.
If you are interested in getting an MS, please answer the following
questions.  We also welcome more informal feedback; feel free to offer
comments to:

David Spooner					John Valois
spoonerd@cs.rpi.edu		or		valoisj@cs.rpi.edu
276-6890					276-4857

In addition, you are welcome to attend the next meeting of the Computer
Science Graduate Curriculum Committee; contact Dave or John above for
more information.

Feel free to distribute this to your colleagues as well.
