Electives 8-9 hours minimum - Elective courses of your choice
In preparation for technical positions in the telecommunications industry (such as those that would require a computer science, electrical engineering, or management science and information systems background), students are encouraged to take TCOM 5012 Telecommunications Laboratory as one of their electives. This course is also highly recommended for students who wish to obtain hands-on experience with telecommunications hardware.

Courses other than those with a TCOM prefix are offered by participating colleges for students in the MSTM and other programs. These courses sometimes have additional prerequisites that must to be satisfied before enrolling. In addition, enrollment opportunities for MSTM students may be limited, as the courses may be core requirements in other degree programs.

ECEN 5553, TCOM 5113 and TCOM 5123 must be taken as early as possible as they make up the foundation of the program's curriculum. Successful completion of these courses will give you important skills needed to effectively manage telecommunications systems.

OSU professors provide significant classroom resources through the Internet. We strongly recommend students have access to a computer with a CD-ROM drive and Internet connectivity, preferably broadband.
