A question about M.S program of Computer Science in Northwestern

<p>I saw the program only last for 9 months, is it true?
If it is, can I extend it to 2 years?
I think 9 months is too short
and it does not leave enough time to find a job…</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>

<p>Graduate students may pursue their M.S. studies in the Department on a part-time
basis. For this purpose, the Department schedules certain courses in the late afternoon.
However, all of the M.S. degree requirements must be fulfilled, and it may not be possible to
take all required courses at these late-afternoon time slots. For further information, contact
the Associate Chair for Graduate Affairs.</p>
