Overview of the MINT Master's Degree Program

Year One:

The MINT Master's degree program begins with the basics of communication and works up to advanced management and analysis techniques. The curriculum consists of six core courses in the first year, including a special lab and a capstone project.

Your graduate education will be gained from experts in all practical and theoretical aspects of Internetworking, and reinforced by exercises in the lab.

Students enrol in MINT's core courses as a cohort, which provides an opportunity to progress together while meeting peers, future co-workers and sources of specialized information. Within this structure, graduates have access to a network of experts in the field of Internetworking.

Year Two:

In the second year, MINT students select three electives and complete the capstone project course. The electives allow students to choose topics of greatest interest or that are most relevant to your education or employment. Experienced professionals, who have first-hand industry knowledge, teach our elective courses. The capstone project course involves addressing a real-world problem that is experienced in the industry using your newfound knowledge.
