Technology Programs
Our career-focused tech programs are rooted in three key areas of interest: Engineering Technology (ET), Information Technology (IT) and Software and Information Systems (SIS). Not ready to choose a focus? The Undecided option within certain programs expose you to a variety of areas before you need to declare a specialization.4
Whether you choose to focus on ET, IT or SIS, you can build a foundation across all three areas. That’s because our tech programs are anchored with Tech Core, a strategically designed curriculum to help you build a foundation of interdisciplinary skills that will benefit you, regardless of the area of interest you choose.
