Introduction
The School of Information Technology and Engineering (IT&E) at George Mason
University is concerned primarily with study areas that involve integrating the
information basis for modern engineering with the more conventional physical and
materials science approach. The careful integration of these areas results in
a unique academic experience for highly motivated students.
IT&E offers 22 degree programs that concentrate on important contemporary
technological issues and needs. Six bachelor's degree programs are offered: civil
and infrastructure engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical
engineering, information technology, and systems engineering. Minors in information
technology, computer science, and data analysis are also available.
Twelve master's degree programs are available: civil and infrastructure engineering,
computer engineering, computer science, e-commerce, electrical engineering, enterprise
engineering and policy, information systems, operations research, software engineering,
statistical science, systems engineering, and telecommunications. Three doctoral
programs are offered: a cross-disciplinary program in information technology,
and more focused programs in computer science and in electrical and computer engineering.
In addition, the Engineer degree in Information Technology provides post-master's
training in an application area. Undergraduate certificates are offered in applied
statistics, information technology, and operations research and engineering. For
graduate students, certificate programs are offered in electronic commerce; command,
control, communications, and intelligence; communications and networking; computational
modeling; systems engineering for computer, information, and software-intensive
systems; federal statistics; information engineering; information systems security;
military operations research; signal processing; software engineering; VSLI design/manufacturing;
discovery, design and innovation; computer networking; network technologies and
applications; wireless communications; and telecommunications systems modeling.
The undergraduate degree programs prepare graduates to enter directly into
professional employment or to continue studies at the graduate level. The requirements
for the bachelor's degrees include required and elective courses in mathematics,
humanities, and general education, and specialty courses in civil and infrastructure
engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, information
technology, and systems engineering. Each program strongly emphasizes English
composition and communication.
Students also have the opportunity to develop interest areas in other fields
within IT&E that offer undergraduate courses but do not now have undergraduate
majors. The Bachelor of Individualized Study (B.I.S.) degree program may appeal
to adult students who have completed a substantial portion of their studies at
other institutions.
