Ph.D. programs in Architecture, Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences, Management, and Science offer a wealth of opportunities for doctoral study with focused IT research. In addition, for highly interdisciplinary research, an IT Track is available in the Multidisciplinary Science Ph.D. program. The IT Track is designed to allow a student to work with faculty from multiple Rensselaer departments and schools. Information Technology Track The IT Track in the Multidisciplinary Science PhD program is designed to prepare students for a career in interdisciplinary IT research. The IT Track requires a technical core coupled with a concentration that provides the context for the student's research. This concentration may incorporate one or more disciplines in addition to its core IT components. The IT Track focuses on research â€“ creative and original enough to be recognized by scholars in the student's areas of concentration, both in academia and industry. Doctoral Concentration (Dc) The Doctoral Concentration (DC) assures that the student has a sufficient level of competency in his or her selected concentration area to pursue advanced research in that area. The DC requires that a student take a minimum of five courses pertaining to the selected research concentration. The specific courses are selected with advisement from the research advisor. Example research concentrations include (but are not limited to): Computer Communications and Networks Electronic Commerce Discrete Event Simulation Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Computational Science and Engineering Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science Social, Economic and Policy Studies in IT and Emerging Legal Regimes Arts, Education and Cultural Studies Cross-National Studies of IT Use Electronic Arts Communication in Technologically Mediated Contexts Human-Computer Interaction and Interface Design Modeling, Visualization and Uncertainty Program Outcome Students who successfully complete this program will be able to: Demonstrate core knowledge in Database Systems, Data Analytics, Software Design and Engineering, Management of Technology and Human Computer Interaction. Perform independent research in an advanced science informatics area. Communicate effectively with colleagues and the general public. Demonstrate proficiency in research methods and analysis and able to conduct original research, making substantive contributions.
