Associate of Applied Science: Wireless Communications Technology

The Wireless Communications Technology program prepares students to enter the dynamic field of Wireless communications.

This program emphasizes understanding of radio frequency fundamentals, employing a systems approach along with component-level troubleshooting and analysis. Systems integration and networking are also studied. This multi-faceted approach to understanding the operation and troubleshooting of communication systems enables graduates to become effective technicians in the wireless industry.

Students develop hands-on skills as well as learn the fundamental operations of the industry.

The Wireless Communications Technology program was made possible by a grant from the Department of Education, Title III, Strengthening Institutions. This grant totaling almost 1.8 million dollars has allowed us to research this fast paced market and develop a program that benefits both the student and employers.

Our Advisory Committee includes local wireless and communication providers such as First Cellular, Verizon, Hamilton County Communications, and Slingshot Wireless to name a few.

While keeping our focus on the local market conditions, we are also keeping an eye on national trends so our graduates can find employment anywhere. That’s why we have also partnered with the National Center for Telecommunications Technologies and the Global Wireless Education Consortium.
