MS in TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
The Master of Science in Telecommunication Systems Management degree is
designed for professionals currently in the telecommunications field who
either wish to enhance their technical skills and credentials, or who wish
to make a transition to the business side of telecommunications especially
to management or marketing. We also welcome applications from prospective
students with limited industry experience. Disciplines from which
applicants generally enter the program include computer science, the physical
sciences, mathematics and engineering.
The MS in Telecommunication Systems Management is offered jointly by the
Graduate School of Engineering
and the Graduate School
of Computer and Information Science, in conjunction with the College
of Business Administration. However, the program is based in and
administered by the Graduate School of Engineering.
Full-time students on the Telecommunication Systems Management program
may be eligible to participate in the cooperative plan of education.
Students who go on a co-op generally spend 6 or 8 months working on an approved
assignment with a telecommunications or networking company.
Full-time students generally complete the program within two academic years.
Full-time students who go on a co-operative assignment with industry generally
complete the program within two and a half academic years. This assumes
that no prerequisite courses are needed. The program may be accelerated,
by taking courses during the summer semester.
For part-time students, the course schedule permits completion of the degree
program in less than four years, assuming that two courses are taken per
year and no prerequisite courses are needed. The program may be accelerated
by taking courses during the summer semester.
