Welcome
The College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University would like to invite you to our open house. For two days, starting Friday the 14th of March, faculty as well as graduate students from the college would like to show you what graduate life at Northeastern is.
An opportunity to see, first hand, some of the research work at Northeastern. Chat with professors over coffee and get the background scoop from our own graduate students on the work and life at CCIS. Walk the streets of Boston and maybe you'll find the place "where everybody knows your name".
If you have any questions, please call our main office at 617-373-2462.
