The Master of Science in computer networking may be earned through the M.S. with thesis
option or through the non-thesis option. Either option may be used as preparation for
further graduate study or employment in industrial research, development or design
environment, although students planning to continue on for a Ph.D. should discuss the
option selected with their advisors.
Admission Requirements: Admissions criteria will adhere to those currently listed
on
the program website: http://networking.ncsu.edu
Master's Degree Requirements: Computer networking core courses constitute
9 of the 30 minimum credit hours. Students take 12 additional credit hours of computer
networking courses from one of four currently defined technical concentration areas:
network design, network hardware, network software, or networking services. The remaining
9 credit hours may be taken from an approved management concentration sequence,
as additional courses in the computer networking technical concentration areas, or as 6 hours of
thesis and 3 credit hours from the list of approved computer networking courses. At least
6 of the 30 credits must come from the 700 level, and non-letter graded courses such as
individual studies courses may account for a maximum of 3 credit hours.
