Like other electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) degrees, it will focus on three areas:

1. Internet Engineering
2. Software Engineering and Management
3. Information Security and Assurance

The above focus areas aim at uniting computing theories and technologies with industrial-strength practices to provide a solid education in software development and management, Internet and communication technologies and information security. All areas will emphasize proven practices and modern skills. Teamwork and group-projects will be common.

The Curriculum

The MS IT program has a thesis and non-thesis option. The thesis option requires 24 credit hours of course work and 6 hours of thesis, while the non-thesis option requires 33 credit hours of course work. A student is required to take four or five courses in one of the above focus areas to become professionally skilled in that area.
