Distance Learning Graduate Certificate Program
on
Telecommunications and Entrepreneurship
Starting Spring 2005
Description: This new multidisciplinary graduate certificate program on telecommunications and entrepreneurship will provide junior professionals and new hires in electrical engineering, computer science, physics, and professional military personnel in these and related areas with the opportunity to learn the recent advances and state-of-the-art development in the area of telecommunication's technology. It will also enhance students' understanding of the entrepreneur and business aspects of this technology.
In particular, this certificate program includes an integrative component through a required capstone project at the end of the program. As part of the capstone project, students will be required to participate in the business plan competition organized by the College of Business. The credits earned in this certificate program could be used to partially satisfy graduation requirements in an advanced MS Degree or an MBA.
Eligibility: To be accepted into the the program you must possess a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or equivalent.
