Computer Technology and Applications

The CTA Seminar Series

A special sequence of interactive lectures designed to keep students informed about critical changes taking place in information technology and the consequences these changes will have on the marketplace.

  • Lecturers include leaders from the corporate and private sectors of the information technology industry.
  • Seminars are held approximately once a month during the fall, spring, and summer terms.
  • All CTA students are required to attend three seminars during the course of their program of study; however, students are encouraged to attend as many seminars as they wish.
