The Digital Technology and Culture Program facilitates the acquisition of four skillsets students need in order to be successful in their careers: 1) critical thinking, 2) comfort with computers and digital environments, 3) effective communications, and 4) managing others and working with people in teams. In brief, the Program prepares students to be Project Managers in tech-oriented contexts.
