 The graduate program in telecommunications
and networking, housed within the School
of Information Sciences, offers graduate study
leading to a master's degree, a certificate
of advanced study, or a PhD, and it is closely
linked to the Departments of Computer
Science, Electrical Engineering, and Communications, and the Joseph M. Katz
Graduate School of Business. Our program prepares

| Master of Science in Telecommunications (MST) |
| |
The MST program is a 36-credit program
that can be completed in one year of full-time
study or as many as four years of part-time
study. Prerequisites for admission to the
MST program include mastery of computer
programming in at least one scientific programming language, probability (a
three-credit course), and calculus (a three-credit course).
You may then select an area of specialization
such as telecommunications systems, computer networks, policy and management,
wireless, or security, or choose to become
a telecommunications generalist.

| Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) |
| |
| The 24-credit CAS provides a structured,
personalized program of studies beyond
the MST degree. Designed for people who
do not wish to pursue the PhD degree,
it enables post-master's-level students
to explore a specific field of interest or to
update skills and competencies. The CAS
is an ideal way to refresh proficiencies and
gain expertise in the most current areas
of professional interest. |

| Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) |
| |
The PhD program prepares you for advanced
work in research and teaching, providing
research-oriented graduate study and
professional specialization in the science
of telecommunications. Candidates must
demonstrate evidence of superior scholar-
ship and mastery of a specialized field
of knowledge, and they also must show
evidence of their ability to do significant
and relevant research. Our PhD graduates
are members of faculties at universities
around the world, as well as senior researchers in public and private enterprises.
If you are interested in doctoral study, you would
benefit from meeting with potential faculty
advisors before applying to the program.
