All the core courses within the degree program are project-based allowing for hands-on experience culminating in a final capstone project or an internship in the student’s chosen domain area. The program offers the flexibility for the students to choose one of the five tracks (Aviation Safety, Aviation Business, High Performance Computing and Big Data, Cybersecurity and Homeland Security) to specialize in depending, on their interest.
