Depending on the student`s major, course work for the Ph.D. in
management also may contribute toward certain master`s degrees. Such
degrees will not be awarded, however, until the student completes all
doctoral requirements, including the dissertation. Students may take
courses that lead to a master`s degree only if these courses contribute
to their plan of study. To do so, the student will need approval from
his or her adviser and the program director to ensure that these
courses form part of the student`s individualized study plan.
Master of Science in Computer Science
Master of Science in Information Systems
Both a master of science in computer science and a master of science in
information systems are available through NJIT. These courses may be
taken, however, only by students in information systems majors. In
addition, a student taking these courses will need approval from his or
her adviser and from the program director to ensure that the courses
are part of an individual study plan. The degree will not be awarded
until the student has completed all the doctoral requirements,
including the dissertation. Under no circumstances may a student be
awarded a master`s degree in computer science or information systems if
he or she leaves the program without finishing the Ph.D. requirements.
For more information, see the relevant program regulations.
Master of Science in Operations Research
The master of science in operations research is available on the New
Brunswick campus. These courses may be taken, however, only by students
in management science or information technology majors. In addition, a
student will need approval from his or her adviser and from the program
director to ensure that these courses are part of an individual study
plan. The degree will not be awarded until the student has completed
all of the doctoral requirements, including the dissertation. Under no
circumstances may a student be awarded a master`s degree in operations
research if he or she leaves the program without finishing the Ph.D.
requirements. For more information, see the relevant program
regulations.
