Telecommunications is the common factor in distributed processing, online systems, teleprocessing, terminal-based systems and real-time systems. The Telecommunications Systems Management curriculum is designed to prepare students to successfully pass several major industry certification exams while completing the degree. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on, experiences and is constantly tuned to be as “cutting edge” as possible.
TSM students must complete core courses, plus a specialization in one of three tracks. Network Management Track, Infrastructure Track, or Servicing Track.
In addition to college graduation requirements, students must earn a cumulative grade of “C” or better in all courses offered in the Engineering Technology and Engineering Transfer Department to be eligible for graduation.
