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.
