Our students gain hands-on experience with all the latest technologies, applied in the context of business work. We offer advanced studies across a huge range of areas – including cybersecurity (jointly offered by the departments of Criminal Justice and Criminology, Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Computer Information Systems and Business Analytics), business analytics, systems analysis, telecommunications, data mining and application development. Couple all this learning with some of the best internship opportunities in the state, and you have an ideal platform from which to launch a successful career.
