HUCE's Online Technology Programs

Online Information Technology Programs

Earth The globalization of the world's economy is being driven by rapidly accelerating advances in information technology (IT), i.e., by the "progressive digitization of everything." HUCE is therefore pleased to present a wide range of online courses related to IT.

Many of these courses are offered in alternative formats: asynchronous self-paced vs. synchronous instructor-led. They have been selected to appeal to students having diverse technical backgrounds -- from novices to techno-gurus. Some are designed to prepare students to take rigorous certification examinations; others will help them to use computers to get their jobs done more effectively. Given the dynamic nature of IT, this mix of courses will be changed from time to time in response to changing demands for IT skill sets.
