  2. SCIS Degree Programs • Computer Science (B.S., M.S., Ph.D.) • Information Technology (B.A., B.S., new M.S.) • Telecommunications and Networking (M.S.)

  3. Undergraduate Programs • Computer Science • Classic degree offered since early 1980s at FIU • Blends computer science theory and practice • Required senior projects course • Fairly standard across the country; ABET Accredited • Information Technology • New degree offered since 2003 at FIU • More applied • Little agreement on what constitutes an IT degree • Few ABET accredited programs – many opt out

  4. Graduate Programs • Computer Science • Master’s degree offered since early 1980s at FIU • Ph.D. program more recent – many successful grads • Standard curriculum • Telecommunications and Networking • Unique M.S. program (only one in state of Florida) • Information Technology • Starting Spring 2011; relatively few programs in the nation • Different ways to do MSIT programs around country • We want to be track focused
