Academic\/Application Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Masters in Networking and Masters in Applied Science: Networking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students entering the MNET or the MASc (NET) program will have a technical undergraduate degree in Network Technology, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering, or a closely-related discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masters in Applied Science: Digital Media<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students entering the DM program will have an undergraduate degree in one of the related three primary disciplines of Technology (e.g. Computer Science\/Engineering and Information Technology), Content (e.g. Arts and Humanities), and People (e.g. Psychology, Communication and Business). Please bear in mind that we are an information technology School, and while we have some flexibility in undergraduate degree requirements, we do expect intermediate programming skills. We will consider applicants who have gained intermediate undergraduate level computer programming skills through relevant professional experience. Other applicants will need to take a set of additional courses that fulfills this requirement (stipulated on a case-by-case basis). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Science Specialization: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students entering the Data Science specialization require the same background as those entering the DM program. Entrance for the specialization in Data Science is restricted to the fall term. More details available at carleton.ca\/datascience<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ph.D. in Information Technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
