DePaul CTI takes an innovative approach to Distance Learning by offering each DL course in conjunction with an on-campus section of the same course. Live courses are recorded using CTI's Course OnLine system, then posted online for DL students to view at their convenience. In this way DL courses are generated anew every quarter, keeping the content and examples fresh. Students communicate with faculty and other students via telephone, email, online discussion groups, or online chat. All CTI DL courses are taught by the same distinguished faculty teaching the on-campus courses. The flexibility offered by our DL degree programs makes it possible for many students to pursue a graduate education despite the pressures of work and family obligations. Because requirements are the same in DL and on-campus courses, students are able to take whatever combination of online and on-ground courses that fits their needs.

The graduate program in Telecommunications and Network Management (TNM) goes far beyond a typical IT degree. The Telecommunications and Network Management graduate degree offered at the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University has evolved into the premier Telecommunications and Network Management program within the United States. The Telecommunications and Network Management degree is a marriage of technology, policy and management. It is not an engineering or programming degree but gives IT professionals and new industry entrants a broader view of how to apply and use networking technologies to solve business problems.

The focus of the Telecommunications Engineering degree is to provide world class education in modern communications networks and systems. Our graduates are uniquely qualified for outstanding careers in telecommunications, data communications, network architecture, wireless and optical networking.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers an M.S. degree in Telecommunications. While emphasis is in Telecommunications Systems, Networks, and Transmission, the inter-disciplinary program incorporates course work in Telecommunications Policy, as well as Business and Project Management. The program offers two parallel tracks: an engineering track for those with an undergraduate degree in engineering or similar calculus-based curriculum, and a non-engineering track for those with other undergraduate backgrounds.

he Department of Computer Science and Telecommunications offers three majors and two certificate programs. Courses are also provided for computer literacy. All courses presented for the major and minor must be approved in accordance with approved curriculum check sheets and must be passed with a grade of C or higher. Due to the rapidly changing nature of this field of study, any courses taken more than eight years ago cannot be counted towards degree requirements. A double major in computer science and network computing is not offered because of the aligned nature of these two programs.

Since most of our students work full time, the Pace University/NACTEL programs are part-time, and students can take up to 11 credits each semester. All credits earned will transfer into a four-year Bachelor degree program depending on the transfer policies of the individual institution. By enrolling, you can expect: * access to courses five times each calendar year - roughly early spring, late spring, summer, early fall and late fall; * courses led by instructors with weekly assignments and deadlines; * to spend between 12-16 hours per week on each course; * to use a variety of media, including the Internet to access Blackboard - our courseware. Here you will find course materials and external resources, email and discussion boards for communication, traditional textbooks and, in some cases, streaming media to support lecture notes; * mid-terms, finals and group projects; * to find and establish a relationship with a proctor to administer certain exams and assignments throughout your participation with the Pace University/NACTEL programs; * access to mentors and tutors ­ who are either involved in the program, the telecommunications industry or specialists in the subject matter of a particular class.

The impact of information technology is widespread. It has radically changed how business is conducted and has become a vital component in achieving and maintaining a competitive edge. Today, leading corporations are using information technology to develop new products and services, outperform competition, forge more effective relationships with customers and suppliers, and substantially change their internal operations and organizations. Here at Marywood University, we prepare you to become proficient in varied aspects of information technology and its applications to business enterprises. By selecting a major in Computer Information and Telecommunications Systems, you are required to complete 63 semester hours in Business and Managerial Science.

The MSTM program is a nationally prominent and exemplary center for telecommunications education, research, and outreach. The program is committed to teaching and advancing the art and science of managing telecommunications. Specifically, the MSTM program's mission is to develop professional telecommunications managers capable of making unique contributions to their chosen organizations. To achieve this mission within an environment of constant change, the inclusion and integration of knowledge and methodologies from various academic disciplines are essential.

The graduate certificate consists of courses from both the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Departments. It is intended for students who hold a baccalaureate degree in science or engineering and who wish to concentrate on hardware/software issues pertaining to telecommunications.

The melding of business functions and information technology (IT) tools puts a premium on professionals who have theoretical and applied skills in both areas. Golden Gate University's undergraduate and graduate degrees in information technology offer you the opportunity to gain expertise in the interrelated areas of strategic information technology, application development and management, and network/telecommunications development and management. Our degrees prepare you for a range of positions. You may wish to acquire generalist skills, with a broad background in both business and IT operations. You may wish to obtain more specialized skills in the development, implementation and use of current and evolving business-side applications. Or, you may wish to gain a more technically oriented knowledge of IT operations, including enterprise-level networks and telecommunications.
