Introductory computer concepts and microcomputer usage covering productivity software packages such as word processing, electronic spreadsheets, presentation software, and database management systems.
The Technology Program’s mission is to develop critical thinking skills and knowledge of technologies to prepare students for employment in areas of industry, business, governmental, or service agencies. Successful completion of the curriculum will provide a background in liberal arts, natural sciences, mathematics and a chosen area from the College of Business or Division of Engineering and Technology with a concentration in either Accounting, Business Administration, Computer Engineering Technology, Engineering Technology, Finance, Management or Marketing.
The Bachelor of Science in Technology program is designed to serve students who have documented training and/or verifiable skills in an exclusive vocational/technical area, full-time military experience or business/industrial training and who desire a bachelor’s degree. A specific program of study for each student is contracted on the basis of his/her career goals and previous training. A student who has been admitted to the program cannot change to another major at UWA, unless he/she meets all admission requirements relevant to the other program.
Each student must complete the following criteria:
- At least 32 hours (not to exceed 42 hours) of technical credit in a singular discipline is required. Students who earn the associate degree in Industrial Maintenance at UWA may use this program to meet the technical portion of the Bachelor of Science in Technology program.
- A minimum of 30 semester hours of upper-division courses (300-400) taught within the COB or DE&T must be completed at UWA.
- Basic Curriculum is the general education requirement for all bachelor’s degrees and includes no less than 47 hours.
- Approved Electives are required to complete the total hours required for the degree. Electives will be selected to strengthen the program.
- Students who enter this program are expected to complete an internship. Three to Six (3-6) hours credit for work experience related to the student’s career goal is required. Previous work experience may be awarded to the student who provides appropriate documentation. However, if a student cannot complete an internship, or does not have prior work experience in their field, then the student will take an additional three hours of upper-level 300 or 400 level course in their professional field.
- The Chairperson for Division of Engineering and Technology is responsible for determining when the student has met all requirements for the degree.
