IT Student Work & Research
All graduate IT students complete their program by conducting a research project (IT 680) in order to integrate and apply knowledge acquired in the degree program to a specific problem. Students can work directly with any member of the full-time faculty, who supervises the project. Students may select from a list of projects or propose their own for approval by the supervising faculty member.
Full-time faculty members currently conduct research in:
- cybersecurity
- mobile apps
- data management
- open source software
- global ethics
- project management
- technology for health care
