Information Networking Institute (INI)

The INI was established in 1989 by Carnegie Mellon University as the nation's first research and education center devoted to Information Networking. The Institute is concerned with the movement of information over public and private networks, to enable end users to conduct business and communicate interactively in multiple media -- voice, data, text, image and video. The Institute is closely affiliated with three colleges at Carnegie Mellon:

The Carnegie Institute of Technology (the college of engineering)
The Graduate School of Industrial Administration (the school of business)
The School of Computer Science.

More than 40 faculty from these colleges participate in the Institute's research and education programs. These include:

A Master's Degree in Information Networking. The MSIN is a unique 14-month alternative to the conventional one-year computer science or engineering program. It brings together the key technologies and techniques that underpin information networking from the schools of computer science, engineering, and business.
Applications for the 1995-96 MSIN prorgam must be returned by Feb. 1! If you wish to apply, please copy the application pages available on-line.
