For course descriptions and additional information see the undergraduate academic catalog.

Degree requirements are specified in an individual plan of study developed with each student through academic advising. At least 42 semester-credit hours** must be earned in upper-division coursework (DeVry courses numbered 300-499). Application of Technical Management program credits to the pursuit of an additional DeVry degree is strictly limited. (See Pursuit of a Second DeVry Degree.)

Successful completion of Technical Specialty Options 2, 3 or 4 results in a designation of the specialty on students' transcripts upon graduation. Specialties are not shown on students' diplomas.
