“It’s not enough anymore to leave students with a degree, we want to equip them with skills they’ll be able to use for their whole career,” said Dr. Ace Lagman, director of Information Technology, FEU Tech’s.

The specializations offered by FEU Tech give students a bird’s-eye view of the changing structure of the business. For example, specializing in business analytics will provide students with an overview of the current trends in information technology that drives businesses.

Data science will teach them how to analyze large volumes of often unstructured data, with the goal of producing meaningful insights.

“The importance of innovation can’t be overstated,” said Dr. Benson Tan, senior executive director, FEU Tech. “Though it’s a big part of it, we don’t pursue innovation solely because it will help our students in their future. The pursuit of innovation is important because we believe our students will have a big part in nation-building and creating a better society. That alone makes everything we do worth it.”
