The Computer Electronics and Graphics Technology Department offers the following undergraduate (Bachelor of Science degree) and graduate (Master of Science degree) programs:
The Computer Electronics and Graphics Technology Department offers programs designed to prepare students for technology-oriented supervisory, middle management and leadership positions. The programs respond to an increasing industry demand for highly qualified personnel who have a combination of technical and managerial skills. Therefore, this study includes a comprehensive knowledge of industrial processes and applied technologies, in addition to a background in general education. Providing a broad range of educational and career enhancement opportunities, the Department prepares graduates for careers in rapidly changing technical fields.
PLANS OF STUDY
Students interested in Technology programs may attend Central Connecticut State
University full- or part-time. Part-time study permits a student to keep a
full-time day job and enroll in courses in the late afternoon or evening.
Full-time students may complete the 122-credit program in four years.
