Since most
of our students work full time, the Pace University/NACTEL programs
are part-time, and students can take up to 11
credits each semester. All credits earned will transfer into a
four-year Bachelor degree program depending on the transfer policies
of the individual institution.
By enrolling, you can expect:
access
to courses five times each calendar year - roughly early spring,
late spring, summer, early fall and late fall;
courses
led by instructors with weekly assignments and deadlines;
to
spend between 12-16 hours per week on each course;
to
use a variety of media, including the Internet to access Blackboard
- our courseware. Here you will find course materials and external
resources, email and discussion boards for communication, traditional
textbooks and, in some cases, streaming media to support lecture
notes;
mid-terms,
finals and group projects;
to
find and establish a relationship with a proctor
to administer certain exams and assignments throughout your

who are either involved in the program, the telecommunications
industry or specialists in the subject matter of a particular
class.
