The Ph.D. in IT integrates the theory and practice of applied computing, information systems, Internet technologies, and the advances in telecommunications and management of information technology. The program responds to the urgent and growing need for a new kind of specialist who understands the unique intersection of these fields. The vision of the doctoral program in IT is to combine the disciplines of computer science, information systems, software engineering, and telecommunications to develop technology specialists who are uniquely positioned to advance research and practice in contemporary technologies.
