Our graduates go on to successful careers as software developers, programmers, UX designers, data scientists, cybersecurity engineers, and web developers. Many are entrepreneurs who have started their own companies.

We offer CIS degree and certificate programs at both the graduate and undergraduate levels at Fordham's Rose Hill (RH) campus in the Bronx and Lincoln Center (LC) campus in Manhattan.

Students Are Our Top Priority

Our class sizes are small allowing for more interaction with our faculty, who are nationally and internationally known and distinguished as scholars and teachers. We value frequent academic advisement so that your advisers can truly mentor you and understand your career goals.
