    Ok guys, lets find some good Telecommunications or Cellular - Wireless telecommunications programs. NO PROGRAMS IN "TELECOMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT" Just technical Degrees.

    Here are some good ones I found:

    Mt. Sierra College Onine: Bachelors in telecommunications technology


    Instant availability of current and pertinent information is the goal of Telecommunications, and it is the backbone of business today. Telecommunications is the electronic transmission of information in the form of voice, sound, data, facsimiles, pictures, or video across a distance from a sender to receiver in a usable and understandable format, using either analog or digital techniques.

    The Telecommunications Technology curriculum includes management of networking systems, computer networking, C++ language, Internet/intranet design, wireless technologies and project management.

    As a student in the Telecommunications Technology program, you will be immersed in the most current and pertinent information related to the field. Graduates of Mt. Sierra College enter the workforce highly sought after because of their academic preparation and hands-on experience. You are a step above other candidates because in your course work, you have actually done what the employer is looking for. The rigors of the Telecommunications Technology program prepare you to be an important member of the team, taking your work to new levels of excellence.


    Mt. Sierra College reserves the right to change its curriculum at any time.

    DePaul University CTI Masters in telecommunication Systems

    For transition plans and course equivalency tables, please click here
    Printable version
    The MS in Telecommunications Systems offers extensive theoretical and practical knowledge in voice and data communications networks. Students completing this degree program have a thorough understanding of the technical and operational aspects of networks as well as the foundational theory of voice and data communications and network management

    The program follows a three-phase sequence, with each phase preparing the student for the subsequent phase. The masterfs degree program consists of:

    Prerequisite Phase
    Foundation Phase
    Advanced Phase
    Upon acceptance into the master's degree program, the student will meet with their faculty advisor to discuss required courses for the Prerequisite Phase. The Prerequisite Phase is intended to ensure that all students enter graduate courses with an equivalent background. While completing this phase, a student is considered a conditionally admitted master's student. In the Foundation phase, a student will follow a sequence of courses to acquire an understanding of the technological and theoretical foundations for the particular degree. In the Advanced Phase of the program, the fundamental information learned previously allows a student to study advanced topics within their chosen degree. This phase adds depth to the work completed in the Foundation Phase. Individual interests and needs are also addressed through a series of elective courses chosen in consultation with the student's faculty advisor.

    Grade and GPA requirements
    Grades: Students must receive a grade of B- or better in each Prerequisite and Foundation Phase course and a C- or better in all other courses..

    GPA: Students must maintain a graduate level GPA of 2.50 or higher while pursuing their degree. Students will not be approved for graduation with less than a 2.50 GPA. Students with a GPA of 3.90 will graduate with distinction.

    Prerequisite Phase

    Offered Fall
    In class Online
    ã ã CSC 211 Programming in Java I Self Placement Test Available!
    ã ã or CSC 261 Programming Languages I: C/C++


    or any more advanced programming course

    Offered Fall
    In class Online
    ã ã IT 223 Data Analysis Self Placement Test Available!
    ã ã MAT 140 Discrete Mathematics I
    ã ã TDC 311 Computers in Telecommunications Systems
    ã ã or CSC 373 Computer Systems I
    ã ã TDC 361 Basic Communication Systems


    By taking these courses and receiving a grade of a B- or better in each, the student will have completed the requirements of the Prerequisite Phase. All or part of the Prerequisite Phase may be waived if a student has the equivalent academic background. Alternatively, students with practical experience may complete a Graduate Assessment Examination (GAE) to show competency in a prerequisite. All students are blocked from enrolling in Foundation Phase courses prior to completing their prerequisites. The student must submit an online Change of Status request when the Prerequisite Phase is completed to inform the Student Services offices that the block can be removed. The online request must be submitted two weeks before the student intends to register for graduate level classes. The student will then be considered a fully admitted student, and may pass to the Graduate Phase of the program. Students may submit the Change of Status request by logging in to MyCTI.


    Foundation Phase
    Fully admitted students in the Foundation phase may register for a maximum of four Advanced phase courses. The Foundation Phase courses for the MS in Telecommunications are:


    Offered Fall
    In class Online
    ã ã TDC 460 Foundations of Communications Systems
    ã ã TDC 463 Computer Networks and Data Systems
    ã ã TDC 464 Voice Communication Networks


    By taking these courses and receiving a grade of a B- or better in each, the student will have completed the requirements of the Foundation Phase. If a student receives a grade below B- but better than or equal to C- for a Foundation Phase course, the student is given an option to take a course-specific core competency exam to pass the failed course. If the student fails the exam, the student must retake the failed course. The student can take an exam only once for each failed course. There is no other core examination in the Foundation Phase.

    Advanced Phase
    A student must complete 40 credits (10 courses) in the Advanced Phase to earn the MS in Telecommunication Systems. All courses in the Advanced Phase must be completed with a grade of C- or better.


    Offered Fall
    In class Online
    ã ã TDC 511 Telecommunications Practicum
    ã ã TDC 567 Telecommunication Systems Design and Management


    Five TDC courses from the range TDC 430 to TDC 599, where at least three are numbered above 500.
    Students must also complete three open electives.
    Elective Course Restrictions
    Elective courses are in the range of 420-699 and must be from the school of CTI. Credit for courses taken outside of the school will only be given if approved by a faculty advisor. Courses suggested for any Prerequisite Phase in any concentration do not count for elective credit. Any course required for the student's concentration but taken as part of the requirements of another degree earned by the student may be waived, but cannot be used for elective credit.

    Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I decided upon Mt Sierra Onlie for the Telecommunications.

    If I feel I need more of an advanced eduaction in telecommunications after this I will pursue the Masters of Science in Telecommunications from University of Denver in about 2 years, if not, will probably go after a Network Security Degree.

    Just wanted to let you guys know!

    Thanks guys. Yea i chose Mt. Sierra because the degree is REALLY network and telecommunications focused. TONS of pure Telecom classes. Wireless Telecommunications classes. etc. exactly what I was looking for as I work for a wireless telecommunications provider and need a strong focus on Telecommunictions, Data networks and Wireless telecommunications as apposed to the computer networks.

    looks like it is around 265$ i think per credit hour
