Highly recommended prerequisites for the Computer Technology

well-demonstrated strength in analytical skills. Excellent reading
comprehension and solid writing skills are also important. It is also
recommended that applicants have a basic knowledge of personal computers
and have taken an introductory course in computers.
Students in the program must be motivated and dedicated to
learning the technologies, as the majority of the courses in the program
require many hours of work in the department's computer labs, practicing
the skills they are learning.
