While the ICT undergraduate curriculum is designed to prepare students to assume positions that require basic knowledge and skills commensurate with bachelor’s level preparation, the master’s curriculum is designed to prepare students to assume positions that require more in-depth knowledge of the field. The curricula reflect the knowledge and skill sets students need to successfully compete in the ICT job market.

Students in the ICT master’s program will begin to focus on a certain area or aspect of Information Communication Technology. Students admitted to the master’s program may concentrate their studies into one of three tracks: health, technology and analytics, or policy and regulation. Or, students may choose to work with their adviser to create a program of ICT that best suits their educational and professional goals.
