A unique telecommunications program, Business Computer Telecommunications , is offered as an option within the Business Administration major. A minor is also available for students with other majors. The program is designed for students who seek to combine strong management skills with a solid understanding of the principles and applications of modern telecommunications. A strong basic technical understanding of telecommunications and hands-on experience in this rapidly developing field are essential to success. An advanced classroom facility supports laboratory experiments in communications and networking.
Students carry out a series of experiments as course assignments.
The experiments range from the very simplest, designed to familiarize students with basic equipment and its use in simple configurations, to fairly advanced, involving design and assembly of networks. The rapid growth of telecommunication has created a critical lack of trained network administrators. The industry is beginning to recognize that skilled telecommunications administrators need hands-on technical experience as well as a managerial background.
