Program Director: Yong Liu

Telecommunications is growing rapidly. From the military-communications networks of the early 1950s, telecommunications technology is used in almost all areas of modern society, from banking, reservation- and officeinformation systems, to corporate networks, the Internet and World Wide Web. Recent challenges include gigabit optical networks, multimedia communications and wireless network access.

The rapid evolution of telecommunications demands a broad educational background that includes contemporary technological breakthroughs. Polytechnic’s telecommunication-networks master’s program offers a wide range of courses, from fundamental topics to recent technological advances.

Goals and Objectives

The Master of Science in Telecommunication Networks Program prepares students for telecommunication-networks professions. The program trains students to understand, design, manage and operate such networks.

The Program’s unique features are:

• an exceptionally wide range of course offerings in telecommunications technology;
• hands-on graduate laboratory courses in networking;
• professors with extensive research, industry and teaching experience;
• interaction with Polytechnic’s New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications (CATT), where students have access to cutting-edge research and development projects.
