A nine month internship is a key part of the practical track for this Program. Our current class has been placed in internships with companies such as Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Qualcomm, Alcoa Electronic Packaging, Kyocera America, Maxtor Corporation, Spectragraphics, StorageTek, and Valor Electronics. This M.S. program is an excellent retraining opportunity for people with science Ph.D.s, because the core courses will likely not overlap with previous education, and the internship will give high-level real industrial experience with a top company. One person with a Princeton physics Ph.D. is halfway through the program now and on an internship in the U.S. with a major Japanese manufacturing corporation. The program is highly flexible and elective classes will be readily waived as appropriate for people who already have advanced technical knowledge and the ability to learn new topics on their own.
Financial aid is available.
Preferential assistance will be given to displaced defense industry professionals.
