Electrical Engineering Technology Curriculum

Starting in Fall 2005, we will be utilizing the resources of Northeastern University's School of Professional and Continuing Studies (SPCS) to improve our delivery of courses and programs of study. Since SPCS is on the quarter system, LIS has converted its semester plan to quarters and will start quarter courses in the Fall 2005 term. In general, our programs will be mapped into the quarter system to allow for minimal inconvenience to our students. For example a four semester hour course will become a five quarter hour course offered over a twelve week period. This will give students the added advantage of being able to complete their program of study sooner, if they so choose, since three quarters will be offered over the same time period as two semesters.

Quarter Curriculum
