Networking professionals and communications specialists in today's information society require knowledge in numerous interdisciplinary areas that include computer engineering, telecommunications protocols, security issues, information management, and telecommunications networking. To remain competitive, organizations rely on individuals who can readily apply technology from several disciplines in order to seek innovative solutions to the full range of telecommunications needs.

The George Washington University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers both innovative and cutting edge master's degrees and graduate certificates at the Virginia Campus, in Loudoun County Virginia. These graduate degree programs are taught with the same exceptional faculty and quality of service as that of our main campus, located in Washington D.C.

These accelerated graduate programs are catered toward working adults who find the convenience of weekend and evening courses more suitable for their busy professional lifestyle. Our programs allow students to earn their degree without career interruption while ensuring that information gained at the beginning of the program is not obsolete by the time the student graduates.

Students in this master's program will learn fundamental principles of telecommunications, computer science, and information management. Course work covers topical subjects such as computer and information security, communication network protocols, telecommunications software engineering, and information transmission, storage, manipulation, and retrieval. Students will learn about performance of computer and telecommunications systems and will learn to design local and wide area networks.
