“I absolutely enjoyed attending the FEAC™ program. For me, it provided a capstone that blends both of my Master's level degrees (Masters Health Administration and Masters Information Systems) as well as 15 years of progressive IT experience and knowledge. Although the program was challenging it was worth the sacrifice. To this end, I would not hesitate to recommend it to colleagues. Should you ever require a reference please do not hesitate to send them my way! Again, thank you for providing such a sound and useful program.”

Courses can be taken while pursuing a full-time job but are extremely intensive and therefore require a great deal of effort outside of daily life.

  • Final Practicum course (4 CEU credits) - students work as a team on a small piece of an existing/future enterprise architecture project that can directly relate to their work environment
