The rigorous curriculum balances the study of complex theories with practical application. The coursework equips you with cutting-edge knowledge and skills that are immediately applicable to the industry. We also enable you to customize the program to meet your learning priorities.

In addition to electives, you'll specialize in a technical field (cognate) and complete an internship at a major organization (practicum). Evening courses are designed around a flexible schedule that enables you to balance your work and personal life with a strategic career investment.
