A while back there was some mis-information going around about us.
I'd like to take this opportunity to set the record straight.
Appended to this fact sheet is the schedule for our Winter
Distinguished Lecturer Series.

SCHOOL OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
FACT SHEET
Founded in l979 by Dr. An Wang, the Wang Institute of Graduate Studies is an
independent, non-profit educational institution dedicated to academic
excellence and innovation. It is not affiliated with Wang Laboratories, Inc.
The Institute's first school, the School of Information Technology, was
established to fulfill a dual mission: to provide the professional graduate
education which software engineers require to meet the demands of industrial
software development and management, and to help alleviate the acute
nationwide shortage of highly skilled software specialists.
One of only a few such programs in the world, the School's Master of
Software Engineering (M.S.E.) program combines the study of formal academic
methods with industrial software development and management practices. In
addition, the program provides software engineers with an opportunity to
master state-of-the-art tools and techniques which can be applied
immediately in the workplace.
Software engineers who have worked for at least two years in industry,
academia or research laboratories are eligible for admission to the M.S.E.
program. Students may attend classes on either a full-time or half-time
basis, a schedule which permits practicing professionals to continue working
for companies which include Hewlett-Packard, Raytheon, Digital Equipment,
Prime, Wang and Data General.
The first M.S.E. degrees awarded in Massachusetts were conferred in August,
l982 on the first five graduates of the Institute's M.S.E. program.
Currently, thirty six full- and half-time students are enrolled in the
program.
