The ability of businesses and organizations to successfully plan, design, and implement technology-based communication systems is critical to keeping a competitive edge. As the Internet expands and computing and converged digital networks and applications evolve, there will likely be a shortage of qualified “IT” workers in the future.
This broad-based program of liberal, technical, and professional studies will prepare you for intelligent, effective, self-development in a complex and continually changing society. The Information and Telecommunication degree and certificate programs are designed with a digital “convergence” and information security orientation. The program also emphasizes the importance of business and communications skills in today's business climate. A newly- constructed, multi-million dollar integrated technical laboratory provides a state-of-the-art facility for hands-on learning.
