Two degrees for the price of one!

I received the good news today that I've been accepted into the Civil Engineering department's Information Technology Masters degree program. This means I'll graduate in June with two Masters degrees from MIT, one in engineering management and the other in information technology. I was hopeful that I'd get accepted, which is part of the reason I'm taking so many classes this term.

Here is more on the IT degree from the CEE website:

"The Department's program in Information Technology is intended to prepare students to play a leading role in the digital information age. Research efforts in IT focus on four broad areas: large scale information systems; sensing, data assimilation and control; modeling and simulation; and communication, collaboration, and decision support systems. In addition, students undertake study areas of web-based information systems, large scale product development coordination, signal and image processing, real-time control, computational mechanics, computational geometry, scientific visualization, large scale software engineering, parallel and distributed computing, database management systems, knowledge-based systems, and distance education."
