The faculty of the Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program is our greatest asset. We combine core technical experience in the fields of technology, Internet security, routing, law, economics and business. Many of our faculty members are leading researchers in their fields, and several have held positions of authority in government. Our faculty are regularly invited to speak at international conferences to provide Congressional testimony on telecommunications matters, and to consult with industry leaders. No other program in the world can boast of the reputation that our faculty members enjoy and bring to the students in our small classroom setting.
