The MSTM program is a nationally prominent and exemplary center for telecommunications education, research, and outreach. The program is committed to teaching and advancing the art and science of managing telecommunications. Specifically, the MSTM program's mission is to develop professional telecommunications managers capable of making unique contributions to their chosen organizations. To achieve this mission within an environment of constant change, the inclusion and integration of knowledge and methodologies from various academic disciplines are essential.

The impact of information technology is widespread. It has radically changed how business is conducted and has become a vital component in achieving and maintaining a competitive edge. Today, leading corporations are using information technology to develop new products and services, outperform competition, forge more effective relationships with customers and suppliers, and substantially change their internal operations and organizations. Here at Marywood University, we prepare you to become proficient in varied aspects of information technology and its applications to business enterprises. By selecting a major in Computer Information and Telecommunications Systems, you are required to complete 63 semester hours in Business and Managerial Science.

Managing communications systems is a challenging job. The telecommunications manager must balance the interests of business, technical, regulatory and applications aspects of connectivity, as well as maintain network security. The challenge has intensified as recent growth in wide area networks, e.g. the Internet, has revolutionized the conduct of business. National studies conducted by the United States Department of Labor, professional associations as well as recent employer surveys conducted by the St. Louis Regional Commerce and Growth Association, identify telecommunications technology and information management as a critical field where educational resources are severely lacking.

The melding of business functions and information technology (IT) tools puts a premium on professionals who have theoretical and applied skills in both areas. Golden Gate University's undergraduate and graduate degrees in information technology offer you the opportunity to gain expertise in the interrelated areas of strategic information technology, application development and management, and network/telecommunications development and management. Our degrees prepare you for a range of positions. You may wish to acquire generalist skills, with a broad background in both business and IT operations. You may wish to obtain more specialized skills in the development, implementation and use of current and evolving business-side applications. Or, you may wish to gain a more technically oriented knowledge of IT operations, including enterprise-level networks and telecommunications.

DePaul CTI takes an innovative approach to Distance Learning by offering each DL course in conjunction with an on-campus section of the same course. Live courses are recorded using CTI's Course OnLine system, then posted online for DL students to view at their convenience. In this way DL courses are generated anew every quarter, keeping the content and examples fresh. Students communicate with faculty and other students via telephone, email, online discussion groups, or online chat. All CTI DL courses are taught by the same distinguished faculty teaching the on-campus courses. The flexibility offered by our DL degree programs makes it possible for many students to pursue a graduate education despite the pressures of work and family obligations. Because requirements are the same in DL and on-campus courses, students are able to take whatever combination of online and on-ground courses that fits their needs.

he Master of Science in Information Systems is a cutting-edge program that prepares participants for leadership roles in the strategic integration of technology into modern organizations. The program focuses on advanced technology and leadership concepts essential for CIOs, I.T. managers, consultants and information systems specialists. The curriculum emphasizes a thorough understanding of the design, implementation and evaluation of modern information and knowledge management systems.

The Master of Telecommunications and Software Engineering (M.T.S.E.) is a course-only degree program that prepares students for professional practice in telecommunications and information technologies. The program, jointly offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Department of Computer Science (CS), can be completed in one year of full-time study. A person holding a B.S.E.E. or B.S.CP.E. or a B.S.C.S. degree has the necessary broad background to undertake the M.T.S.E. program. A student without adequate background in specific areas is required to demonstrate proficiency in prerequisite courses.
