The CCI Advantage
While COVID-19 presents many challenges for our economy and the current job market, Drexel has worked tirelessly to provide the best possible educational experience to our students. While the shift to online learning for all programs required patience and perseverance on behalf of our students, faculty, and professional staff, we were uniquely positioned for a smooth transition as all CCI graduate programs were already offered online. Flexibility, real world skills, and industry responsiveness are hallmarks of the CCI curriculum and program delivery, which is why this exceptional opportunity is so valuable at this moment as you complete your undergraduate studies.
CCI also fosters a strong relationship with industry. Through our Corporate Partners Program, CCI engages directly with a variety of companies representing many fields and disciplines. These relationships not only benefit the educational experience and ensure our curriculum meets the needs of today's rapidly changing digital economy, but they yield increased opportunities for professional networking and career building for students throughout every program within our College.
Whether you are a current CCI student or a graduate of one of Drexel’s other fantastic colleges, our wide range of computing and informatics graduate programs will increase your marketability and ensure you have the skills and experience necessary to succeed in the modern digital economy. Regardless of your undergraduate major, CCI has a program that will build on your undergraduate experience and position you to be a leader in your chosen field.
With flexible, stackable certificates that add vital skills and professional credentials, this is a perfect opportunity to build your resume in the short term, whether you already have a new job or if you are working to increase your job prospects in the months ahead. Certificates can also serve as a great entryway into one of our MS programs should you decide to continue your graduate studies.
Our Master’s level Computer Science and Software Engineering programs provide the depth and rigor necessary to expand the skills of even the most technically proficient students. However, due to the breadth and integrated nature of our programming, we have a host of options and multiple pathways to success in today’s hottest career fields for students of any background, with little or no previous technical experience, including Data Science, Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience, Digital Content Management, and more.
From our brand-new program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, to Data Science and Information Systems to Library and Information Science, CCI’s suite of programs has a perfect option to complement any Drexel undergraduate degree.
