Hi everyone. I am a new TheGradCafe member. I am very excited about the graduate school process. I am planning to apply this fall. Right now I am doing intensive research on Computer Science and I torn between AI and HCI as possible specializations. I know that in Stanford, I can possibly do a dual specialization in these two sub fields but I am torn between the two because they will both contribute to the extensive technology and mobile dialogue in the next 10-25 years. Are there any other graduate schools out there that allows students to either specialize in both fields or take supplementary classes in one field and specialize in another? I am leaning towards HCI as my primary field of study since I have a B.A in sociology and I am passionate about design and produce development. I don't know if AI would be a better choice, since it is more math based. I am really good in math despite my liberal arts background. What are your insights in these fields of study and the graduate school process? Thank you for your time!

truedat, if you are still out there, I would love to talk to you about Stanford. I'm applying to graduate school next fall and need to narrow down my list of schools (I set a deadline for myself )! Thanks.

I thought Stanford did not have a Computer Engineering Department. They have an Electrical Engineering/Computer Science Department though.

These stories are making me all teary-eyed and I have not even decided on the schools that I will apply this fall! I can't wait to share my madness next year! Grats all

Thanks ihmcguinness. This is on my list of graduate school programs to apply this upcoming fall. Do you know where online or offline you learned about the program besides BU School of Engineering's website. It is limited and I have talked to Mrs. Friedlander. Thanks and grats!
