■ Interdisciplinary Programs (VSITE)
School: The Volgenau School of Information Technology and Engineering
The Volgenau School offers two interdisciplinary post-master programs: the PhD in Information Technology and the Engineer in IT degree. The first is designed for students who seek a doctoral program in Information Technology and want to be able to customize it to their needs. The second is a professional degree with the flexibility to integrate knowledge from all of the disciplines offered in our School. The programs are managed by the Graduate Student Services Office under the purview of the Senior Associate Dean.
Doctoral students may conduct their doctoral research under the supervision of any eligible faculty member of any of the school’s departments. The doctoral program allows students to take a broad range of courses and research options. Students can specialize in various areas, including information systems, software engineering, and information security.
The Engineer in IT degree program allows a student to combine the advanced course work of the PhD degree in IT with an applied project. It is designed to meet the needs of working professionals seeking advanced and up-to-date training in IT areas, but who are not planning a research career.
