Learn this language, ideal for team projects, that provides access to databases, data analytics, CGI programming, system administration and other useful services.

In addition to the classroom instruction, students are required to get real-World experience through a practicum in an approved organizational setting for 100 - 160 hours. However, if a student is unable to secure a practicum site, another option such as a project will be made available to them to ensure they meet the course requirements through an applied project designed with the instructor.
