Our inverted curriculum allows students to attain career training first—allowing them to become qualified for a computer related profession in a matter of months. Once a student earns a certificate and start his/her career, they can return to Coleman to complete the general education and advanced technology requirements for an associate or bachelor’s degree through Coleman’s Distance Education program. Coleman also offers several Master’

s level programs. Currently, the University offers the following MS degrees: Masters of Science Information Systems Management (MSISM) and a Master of Science in Business and Technology Management (MSBTM) degree.

In addition, the University has a large variety of equipments, hardware, software, platforms, and other technologies to provide the students with maximum experience on the most prevalent computer systems used in business and industry. We have many qualified and friendly instructors, a powerful mainframe, and high-tech equipment to keep us on the cutting edge of technology.

As students draw closer to graduation, they will have many questions about the types of employment opportunities that will be available to them and how to secure their first job in the world of information technology. Coleman’
