Master of Science in Telecommunications Systems Management
Telecommunications systems are networks of leading-edge technologies such
as fiber optic systems, satellites, wireless, telephony and cable that
are connected to computers that allow organizations and individuals throughout
business and industry to communicate instantaneously around the world.
Since these systems provide the architectural structure for such activities
as electronic commerce, electronic banking, video teleconferencing, distance
learning, telemedicine, data interchange, on-demand video, and a host
of other traditional and new uses for business and industry, persons
who are qualified to manage such systems are in high demand.
Murray State University's telecommunications systems management master's
degree program in Cyprus will allow you to "Learn While You Earn" with
a program which focuses on project management and curriculum designed
to help develop managerial skills for the telecommunications industry.
The master's program provides students a core of fundamental courses
as well as specialty courses within the curriculum. Although students
in the master's program will have the insight and ability to manage all
aspects of telecommunications systems, they will also have the chance
to explore special topics in E-Commerce as well as Systems Security.
