Telecommunications and Cellular

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

Pace University: B.S. in Professional Technology Studies Telecommunications Concentration Degree Plan

DePaul University CTI Masters in telecommunication Systems

University of Denver has these programs, not sure how they compare to pace though

-Telecommunications
Master of Applied Science (MAS)
Overview MAS In Telecommunications, Broadband
Overview MAS In Telecommunications, Networks
Overview MAS In Telecommunications, Technology

-Certificate of Advanced Study
Overview Certificate of Advanced Study in Telecommunications Technology
Overview Certificate of Advanced Study in Telecommunications Broadband
Overview Certificate of Advanced Study in Telecommunications Networks
Overview Certificate of Advanced Study in Telecommunications Management and Policy

Anyone know of anymore Telecommuncations NON MANAGEMENT programs? I plan to start one part time on the side.

Now here is the real question, does anyone know of any Cellular Technology degrees? degrees that cover CDMA, GSM, TDMA, Analog, UMTS, EV-DO, EV-DV, etc.?

Thanks Guys!

Firstmode4c,

Here is a school that I found. My nephew attends there and it has an oustanding reputation. They have offer both a bachelors and a masters degree in telecommunications. Let me know if this program meets your needs.

Rochester Institute of Technology,

AAS - Telecommunications Technology (Degree Completion)

 

Very cool, thanks Alczar.

Looks Engineering heavy....

 

Fort Hays State University
http://www.fhsu.edu/int

B.S. in Information Networking & Telecommunications

While it's not pure telecoms, it's still worth mentioning.

As far as cellular [wireless] is concerned, have a look at http://www.cwnp.com/certifications/index.html for wirelss certifications.

 

The CWNA is good for 802 wireless, etc. I def. want to pursue this down the line.

Cellular would be related to SS7 ANSI - 41 standard messaging. The way Cellular networks work are in a different ballpark than 802 standard. Cellular networks integrate with telecommunications networks and vice versa, Another huge difference.

thanks for the info guys!

If ANYONE finds a Cellular program anywhere, that would be great. I am guessing it is going to just be a concentration as part of a telecommunications degree.

Blue Mason.... ALL OF THOSE LINKS ARE TOO GOOD! I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO NOW WHEN I FINISH MY 1st BACHELRS!!

thanks guys, wow, I did not find any of these schools during my search.

So far SunyIT looks the best, but DepaulCTI has AWSOME Cellular classes! I think I will take classes at both, I could care less if I get that degree at Depaul, As Long as I can take to Cellular Classes and get that knowledge!

This has me very excited. These programs can help me get to where I want to be in life.

THANKS GUYS!

 

well, SunyIT probably has the best Telecommunications program that suites me as it is not Engineering Intesive.

DePaulCTI's program is not as interesting to me, but the Cellular Telecommunications class looks awsome and I am definetly going to take that just to take it soon one day. The rest of the program in my opinion does not beat out SunyIT. WOW would I love to go to the campus of SudyIT. They have 4 telecommunications labs! Oh well, i am in TN and could not take the commute.

Now to Decide Between SunyIT and Pace. DePaulCIT's Cellular class is definetly in though.

 

I like this program also, but it is only an associates degree. It looks real good, but would rather go after a bachelors.

Does anyone know if these guys are nationally or regionally accredited?
