MSAT
Program and Degree Requirements
The Program
The Master of Science in Advanced Technology (MSAT) is an
interdisciplinary practice-oriented program that provides a seamless
path to a Master of Science degree for students who have earned an
engineering, engineering technology, physics, mathematics or similar
baccalaureate degree. It will be of value to individuals interested in
upgrading their academic credentials and seeking career advancement in
advanced technology applications or management. The American Society for
Engineering Education (ASEE) has endorsed the concept of
practice-oriented masters programs.
Degree Requirements
The MSAT is a well-rounded, 33-credit program that provides the student
with knowledge and practical applications. Each student, in consultation
with an advisor, develops a plan of study to satisfy the degree
requirements. Students can chose from courses within MSAT and from other
graduate programs at SUNYIT to fulfill their degree requirements. There
is a project to culminate the effort in lieu of a thesis. The
six-credit project may be completed concurrently with the course work or
may occur after the ninth course is taken. Additional coursework may be
substituted for the project on an individual basis.
