Knowledge Systems Institute (KSI) is a fully accredited graduate school of computer and information sciences. KSI has been a provider of education solutions for over 20 years. We offer certificate and certification programs, as well as the Master of Science degree program.
The campus is located in Skokie, IL, a beautiful suburb of the great city of Chicago. The downtown Chicago Loop area is only 14 miles from the school. We are also very near to the Evanston campus of Northwestern University.

The Graduate Program in CIS has nine exciting concentration areas including Computer Art and Design, Computer Based Education, Computer Networks, Electronic Commerce, Management Information Systems, Multimedia Communications, Bioinformatics, Knowledge Management, and Software Engineering.

Our Certificate Program consists of hands-on courses in computer science and programming. Students will learn computer science theory as well as useful and practical programming skills. Several of these courses can be taken as preparation for specific technical certification exams including Oracle's DBA (five exams), Microsoft's MCSE Network Essentials, ComTIA's Network+, and Sun's Java2 Programmer.

KSI offers a distance learning option for students living out-of-state and for local students unable to attend on-site classes. This option is open to students of the Master degree program and the Certificate and certification programs. Our distance learning courses have the same standards, contents, and requirements as on-site courses but require more self-discipline. This option is best suited to well-motivated and independent students.

For students arriving from out-of-state, KSI offers referrals to nearby "student-shared" apartments. These apartments are located very near to the school. Rooms in these shared student apartments can be reserved through the KSI administrative office. Reservation and deposit must be made at least one month prior to the start of the term.

Tuition at Knowledge Systems Institute is competitive and very affordable. All courses are three credit hours, and each credit hour is only $315 (fall 2002 tuition rate). The environment at KSI is very friendly and casual. The small, yet diverse student body makes for comfortable class sizes and a student to faculty ratio of about 5:1. Our full-time faculty all hold Ph.D. degrees, and all our instructors have advanced degrees in their fields.
