Typically hired as an “analyst” and moving through “senior level engineer,” the most successful technologists ascend to an “architect” role. Our curriculum has a strong set of courses targeted to provide a student with the knowledge to be a technical architect. The table below presents the core courses for the architecture role. Where there are two similar courses, prior work experience and course work will dictate the choice.
