The degree, with the core courses as well as several of the concentrations, is also available in the distance delivery format. Applicants must submit two professional recommendations. These scores may be required from those whose undergraduate grade point average is less than 3.0. Prerequisites It is expected that students wishing to enter the master's program will have a background in programming, computer hardware and information technology. Students without the necessary background should complete the prerequisites before applying to the program.
Courses are available to satisfy the prerequisites.
Bridge program Students whose undergraduate preparation or industrial experience does not satisfy the prerequisite can make up these deficiencies through study, taking one or more of the following RIT courses, as prescribed by the graduate program coordinator. The bridge program courses are not part of the 48 quarter credit hours required for the master's degree. A bridge program can be designed in ways different from that described above. Other courses can be substituted, or courses at other colleges can be applied. Contact the graduate program coordinator for approval.
