Introduction
Developed in response to place-bound professionals’ need for additional education, the Bachelor of Science degree in Information and Communication Technologies is a degree completion collaborative effort between Wisconsin Technical Colleges and UW-Stout that provides flexibility for those that are place-bound or working full time. Since computers and the internet have continued to transform the global economy and society, the need for graduates with information and communication technologies skills has increased. The B.S. in Information and Communication Technologies offers a concentration in networking. The program offers a variety of distance education methods, opportunity to build on previously completed technical education, and preparation for management and leadership challenges. Students prepare for managerial and leadership opportunities, positioning them for new or changing opportunities in the workforce, increased salary potential and contribution to current employers. In addition, the program allows students to grow personally and professionally in their breadth and depth of knowledge of today’s information technologies.
An A.A.S. or A.S degree in a field related to the major is desirable. To graduate from this program the student needs to complete a minimum of 32 credits from UW-Stout.
