Network Technology, MIT

The Master in Information Technology (MIT) with a focus on Network Technology is a 5-credit course-based program comprised of 3 core seminars, 2.0 credits in IT, and 1.5 credits from cognate disciplines such as Computer Science and Systems and Computer Engineering. The program delivers courses covering the design and management methods for computer networks, and discussing the composition of wireless network solutions for various applications. The MIT in Network Technology provides an educational structure that enables students to understand security issues in common computer networks and propose appropriate security solutions. Students also learn to critique and recommend different cloud-based data management systems.

The MIT in Network Technology is geared towards students who would like to gain advanced professional project-based training in practical aspects and topics related to the operation and management of networking.. Graduates of this program will help address the critical capacity gap and skills shortage that are arising across all network-centric technology domains. The MIT designation will indicate that this field of study is distinct from Computer Science and established areas of Engineering, and reflect the fact that information technology specialists now need a deeper understanding of their field than previously.
