Bachelor of Science in Interior Design

at Enrollment Advisory Group - University of Bridgeport USA

A Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) will provide the student with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue many new and different careers in modern society, including careers that have yet to be invented.

Electronics Design and Nanotechnology

The EE department has an electronics design program that is state-of-the-art, with emphasis on very large scale integrated circuits design (VLSI) on a microscopic scale and with a new emphasis of VLSI design on a nanometer-scale as well. A series of VLSI courses (i) design (Analog and Digital VLSI, radio frequency VLSI, low power VLSI), (ii) fabrication (microelectronic fabrication and nanotechnology), and (iii) testing (VLSI testing) are available. A closely related field is mirco- and nano-technology MEMS (microelectromechanical systems). Micro-MEMS designs systems of electronics and motion the size of microns. The smaller nano-MEMS builds systems the size of individual molecules. Nano-MEMS is used to create the next generation of VLSI components, including single-electron-transistors, nano-wires, and quantum computers.

Our department has a strong concentration in signal analysis, including the analysis of human speech vs. noise and the transmission of signals via satellite or cable or cell tower.

The EE department has a large PLC lab. Programmable Logic Control consists of 2 parts. You build an assembly line to move products and to do things to these products; for example, a robot arm will sort products or load them on to a platform. To control this assembly line, you need to implement the necessary computer code.

Students in the M.S. Electrical Engineering Program will be able to:

• Demonstrate the ability to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
• Demonstrate the ability to plan and conduct laboratory experiments and interpret and report results
• Demonstrate the ability to identify and apply concepts of engineering economics and project planning
• Demonstrate knowledge of contemporary global and societal issues and their relationship and exercise strong oral and written communication skills including those needed for technical writing

Known for offering an education for the careers of tomorrow, the University of Bridgeport is pleased to announce a new undergraduate program in Digital Marketing Communication. The innovative program is offered in a face-to-face setting with close student-faculty collaboration.

You will gain first-hand experience in developing digital marketing plans and integrate marketing, advertising, public relations, sales, and logistics strategies across physical and digital channels. This includes instruction in digital marketing, e-commerce, online consumer psychology, search engine optimization, social media marketing and web analytics.

Today’s marketing world is vastly different than in past decades when you focused on just one skill. You may apply your skill set to multiple tasks daily from creative conceptualizing, to writing for social, to funneling conversion strategy, to directing a photo shoot for an advertorial, to sourcing materials, to meeting with vendors, and more.

Digital marketing careers enjoy better-than-average job growth. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates job demand will increase 10 percent by 2026.

The average entry-level wage for a digital marketing specialist or digital manager is $40,453-$44,156,* with a range of $86,575- $124,207 for more experienced digital marketing managers.

Psychology is the science of behaviors, mental and emotional processes, development, and social interactions. As you pursue your psychology degree in CT at UB, you will learn about the theories, researchers, and research findings related to how humans think and behave, and how we as a field try to describe, explain, predict, and influence human behavior and mental processes.

The University of Bridgeport offers a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in three unique formats:

• Traditional, on-campus
• Accelerated, online
• Accelerated Degree Completion, on-campus

The Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology prepares students for work that requires liberal arts training as well as psychological knowledge and skills, while also preparing the student for success in future graduate studies. The major provides students with a detailed awareness of the field of psychology, including its historical background, paradigms, methods, research findings, and applications. The major addresses the general areas of developmental, personality, social, cognitive, and abnormal psychology. It fosters the development of verbal, quantitative, analytical, and technological skills that are useful for work in psychology and related fields.

Modern technology now provides industries of all kinds with the ability to gather vast amounts of data. But data requires more than just flashy dashboards and reports. In order to make better data-driven business decisions, employers require hybrid IT/business professionals to make data meaningful. Our STEM designated program was built with this need in mind.

In the Master of Science in Analytics degree program, we will help you:

• Develop the critical thinking skills necessary to combine complex data and business value and turn it into actionable insight
• Cultivate expertise in analysis, management, solution architecture and delivery, and hands-on technical skill
• Grow your skills through our comprehensive curriculum, which offers opportunities for inquiry and professional development to round out your experience

The Associate in Arts in Business Administration degree program at UB provides options for students who want only two years of college study and students who are not certain about their degree objectives. This undergraduate degree program requires that all freshman and sophomore core business courses and business prerequisites, as well as University core requirements, be completed with an average grade of “C” or better.

Two-year business study at the University of Bridgeport provides many advantages not usually available to junior college or two-year college students. All the resources of the university are available to two-year students as readily as for bachelor’s or MBA students. This includes planning/placement services and all of the social, sports and extracurricular activities of the campus.

Students receive all the guidance and advising of a small, two-year college, while completing their studies in the environment of an internationally accredited business program provided by a major university. The A.A. degree in Business Administration does not have ACBSP accreditation.

Learning Outcomes

• Acquire basic general business knowledge
• Develop practical technical skills necessary for initially pursuing a junior level entry position
• Learn how to communicate with others in their organization
• Understand the role of business in the larger society
   

Three degree programs are offered through the UB General Studies program: Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS.) and Bachelor of Science (BS) in General Studies. These degrees offer maximum flexibility to explore curricula of the different undergraduate programs at the University.

In the BS in General Studies program, students work with an academic advisor to design an academic program tailored to their specific needs and goals. For example, one might combine a Business Studies concentration that focuses on Marketing and Management with a minor in Mass Communications, or combine a Social Sciences concentration that focuses on Psychology and Sociology with a Human Services minor. The Natural Sciences and Mathematics concentration is frequently used to fulfill the science prerequisites for graduate study in the health professions, leaving a student room to explore the undergraduate curriculum in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Human Services.

The B.S. in General Studies is an excellent option for transfer students since it allows the maximum number of free electives permitted by the university. Program graduates have attended business, law, and medical school. Many have gone on to careers in education, human services, and community service. This program is offered at our main Bridgeport campus, as well as the Waterbury Center location.
