Specialty Tracks

Track Offerings

One special feature of our Telecommunication Studies program is that you may elect to develop a Specialty Track of focused coursework. These tracks are entirely optional and should reflect your particular interests and skills. Most Telecommunication Studies students complete their major by taking a variety of elective courses, thus exposing them to a range of new issues, ideas, and professional techniques, But some might have a sharper idea of how to use electives to advance understanding of a specific interest.
