Stevens Institute of Technology offers Saturday, accelerated master's degree program in telecommunications management for Spring 1999

HOBOKEN, N.J. – Stevens Institute of Technology will expand its Graduate School telecommunications management program this spring, by offering an accelerated master’s degree class on Saturdays, it was announced today by the university. The course, offered through the university’s Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management, will be conducted on the Stevens’ Hoboken, N.J. campus. The class is scheduled to begin later this month.

"This new Saturday program is specifically designed to meet the needs of those busy professionals wishing to advance their careers in the burgeoning telecommunications industry, but cannot devote time to graduate studies during the work week," said Dr. Joseph Moeller, vice president of The Graduate School and Research.

The program will provide students with a Master of Science Degree in telecommunications management in less than two years. The courses will be conducted in a Saturday class program delivered in a trimester sequence for approximately 21 months. The program consist of basic communications technologies and management courses identical to those offered by the Howe School faculty at leading corporate sites including AT&T, Lucent Technologies and Bell Atlantic.

Stevens’ graduate programs lead to one of 56 master’s and Ph.D. degrees. Concentrations that can be tailored to the specific needs of the graduate student are available within most degree designations.

In addition to master’s degree offerings, programs leading to Graduate Certificate Programs are organized for practicing engineers, managers and applied scientists in specific disciplines. A Graduate Certificate is awarded on satisfactory completion of the four-course program. The graduate course credits can be applied directly toward a master’s degree.
