As computer science skills continue to become essential across every major industry, New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering has launched a new online program that gives students lacking a background in CS the opportunity to switch fields and pursue a master’s in computer science.

A Bridge to NYU Tandon is a 15-week program held during the fall (or a 12-week program over the summer) – with a sticker price of $1,500. The program is a convenient way to enter growing fields like cybersecurity, data science, artificial intelligence and many more.

Topics covered include:

  • Fundamentals of system hardware number systems;
  • Compilation and execution process data types and expressions branching statements;
  • Iterative statements (or loops) and an introduction to algorithm analysis; and
  • Functions, abstractions, runtime stack arrays, and many other topics.

A Bridge to NYU Tandon trains students for entrance into the school’s computer science master’s program. To learn more, visit the NYU Tandon School of Engineering site here.
