MSEE Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves + ?

In summary, the program being discussed has a focus on Electromagnetics, RF, and Microwaves. In addition to these areas, it would be beneficial to have exposure to Signal Processing and Embedded Systems, which involve programming. This can open up possibilities in the future. Other valuable exposure for the telecommunications industry includes EMC/Shielding and knowledge of digital communication methods, such as 128/256 QAM.

The program I am looking at has an emphasis on Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves.
If I am looking at the telecommunications industry, what other exposure might
be valuable? Would some course work in Signal processing or embedded systems
be beneficial?

PLL, RFIC, integrated circuit design.

Signal Processing and Embedded systems are quite different from EM and RF, it involve a lot of programming. Of cause it would be beneficial if you have the time. Always want to learn more to open possibilities in the future.
