Master of Science in Telecommunications at George Mason University is a 2 years program.
It is an on-campus program, offered on a full-time basis.
This program offers a blend of cutting-edge practice-oriented courses in network engineering, cloud computing, wireless communications (e. g. 5G), and cyber security.
This industry-oriented program is designed for students who wish to enter the field of network engineering or are working in the field and want to advance their knowledge.
The program concentrates on practical applications of network engineering, rather than on a theoretical approach while providing a thorough education in the necessary engineering principles.
Students get the hands-on laboratory courses that provide students with practical skills and knowledge needed to hit the ground running after graduation.
This program also offers two certificate programs that may be incorporated into, and taken concurrently with, the MS in Telecommunications.

Most students come to the United States on an F-1 visa, but students who are sponsored by the U.S. government, their home government, or another organization may be required to enter the United States on a J-1 Exchange Visitor's Visa. To be issued an immigration document (Form I-20 for F-1 status or Form DS2019 for J-1 status), students must prove they have sufficient financial support to cover their expenses while at Mason.
International students outside the United States may use their immigration documentation to schedule a visa interview with the U.S. embassy or consulate nearest their place of residence and apply for an F-1 or J-1 student visa.
