The University of Colorado Boulder and the Office of Academic and Learning Innovation invites you to attend a public talk delivered by Dr. Zvi Galil on Georgia Tech’s Georgia Tech’s scaled Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS). Dr. Galil will describe the history of the OMSCS, how the program has evolved since launching in 2014, and lessons learned from the OMSCS experience. Dr. Galil will also share his vision for the future of higher education and online learning.

Dr. Galil is a leading computer scientist and was the seventh president of Tel Aviv University. In 2010, he joined Georgia Tech as the third John P. Imlay Jr. Dean of Computing. Dr. Galil was a moving force behind the establishment of Georgia Tech’s OMSCS program, which by Spring 2022 had grown to more than 12,000 students representing more than 100 countries. Inside Higher Education noted that the OMSCS “suggests that institutions can successfully deliver high-quality, low-cost degrees to students at scale.” And The Chronicle of Higher Education stated that the OMSCS “may have the best chance of changing how much students pay for a traditional degree.”

The event will take place in person at 3 p.m. on Sept. 16 in the CASE building in the Chancellor’s Hall and Auditorium. The event will follow Campus Covid-19 public health measures. Please email with any questions at ali@colorado.edu .
