Background
[Return to Top of Page]
The Department of Information Networking and Telecommunications (INT) focuses on the use and movement of information. Technology enables this effort, but legal, social, economic, and ethical constraints are imperative components of study for people who will become “information leaders.” The Department of Information Networking and Telecommunications strives to create the “T” person. This is a creative person who has a breadth of understanding in the liberal arts, is an effective problem solver, and effective communicator. This breadth of understanding is reflected in the top of the “T.” A graduate will also have a depth of expertise in an area of media or information technology represented by the leg of the “T.”
The Department of Information Networking and Telecommunications is built upon a history that dates back to 1950 with a base in radio broadcasting. The Department has evolved as the means of electronically distributing information. It became a separate department in 1997 and has expanded substantially since that time. Today, the department provides both study on the creation of digital content such as audio, video (television & streaming video), web (text, graphics, audio, video, and transactional) , and a variety of new media . It also provides study in the movement of such information through complex and simple telecommunications, wide area and local area networks.
Careers in Information Networking and Telecommunications
[Return to Top of Page]
The department’s graduates work world-wide. These positions include traditional broadcast and new media professionals, computer networkers, network design engineers, systems engineers, web masters, web designers, web programmers, chief information officers, and information technology related sales, management , and regulatory positions. There are many career paths that the graduate in information networking may choose to pursue. Information services are found in both private and public organizations. A major strength of the program is that it develops highly valuable knowledge workers for the 21st century.
Media studies graduates work in television, radio, corporate communications, marketing, and new media. Graduates work for the major network affiliates (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS), media production companies, and such diverse companies as HP and Honeywell. Some alumni own television and radio stations or production companies. Telecommunications and networking graduates work in major corporations including such companies as Sprint, Cisco, SBC, Qwest, Sykes, Nortel, MCI, and Wal-Mart Corporate. These graduates also work for a variety of smaller businesses and organizations such as Nex-Tech, Eagle Communications, Interactive Systems, hospitals, cities, school districts and law enforcement agencies. Web graduates are needed by a wide variety of organizations who maintain medium to complex web sites. Graduates also work independently or in consulting groups creating e-commerce, business to business, transactional, and information web sites. Sample employers include Cisco, Nex-Tech, Eagle Communications, bowled-over.com, and Hays Medical Center.
Undergraduate Study
[Return to Top of Page]
The department offers formal Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees with three undergraduate areas of concentration: Media Studies, Telecommunications and Networking, and Web Development. Each concentration is designed to provide both a valuable theoretical knowledge base and valuable professional level skills. Students in this major typically complete 54 major hours comprising a 39-hour major and 15 hour specialized emphasis. Coursework concentrates on the dynamics of information, information and media technologies, and how they are designed and used. The information networking and telecommunications program’s goal is to produce information managers, leaders, and citizens who can effectively contribute to the success of the electronic media, and the many types of organizations that use networks and the web based content. Concentrations in Telecommunications and Networking and Web Development are offered not only on-campus, but also through distance learning as on-line courses.
The department offers a Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) concentration in Information Networking and Telecommunications. This degree is largely designed for distance learning students who have prior coursework from other majors or institutions and who desire a flexible and mobile degree option. This undergraduate degree is described elsewhere in the catalog. A student seeking a BGS emphasis in INT will take a minimum of 21 hours of credit from this department. A student will have an advisor who will work with the student to develop and approve the flexible design of a bachelors of general studies.

International Information Networking and Telecommunications Programs
[Return to Top of Page]
The demand for persons with skills and abilities in Information Networking and Telecommunications is world-wide. International students are welcomed and are believed to have valuable perspectives to share with American students. The Department of Information Networking and the Department of Modern Languages encourage a series of opportunities that open international doors for students. These include pursuit of the Bachelors of Arts with its 10 credit hour Modern Language Component, the additional pursuit of an Emphasis in Modern Languages with a 16 credit hour Modern Language component, or the pursuit of a dual degree in Information Networking and Telecommunications and Modern Languages (154 credit hours total – typically two degrees in five years). The two departments are developing international internships for students proficient in languages in countries such as France, Germany, Norway, Mexico, and Japan. Students are encouraged to take advantage of Fort Hays State University’s membership in the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) that allows students to spend a semester or academic year abroad at their home institution’s tuition rate (Typically this works into a student’s schedule best during the sophomore year when a student is largely taking general education courses). Finally, the Department of Modern Languages offers a variety of spring break and summer study tours to Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Internships
[Return to Top of Page]
An internship is an experience that exposes a student to a professional work environment in his or her area of interest. An internship may be taken for 1-6 hours of university credit. Typically, a student will spend 50 hours of time in an internship for each credit hour earned and will participate in reflective assignments under the guidance of his or her instructor. Internships may be paid or may be without compensation.
Undergraduate students are strongly encouraged by the Department of Information Networking and Telecommunications to perform at least one internship. Internships help to bring relevancy to the student’s classroom study and often provide a variety of experiences that enrich classroom discussion. They often help to open doors to career opportunities and permanent placement for students.
Graduate internships in Information Networking and Telecommunications may be enrolled in by students in the Master of Liberal Studies and Master of Science in Communication. Among other options, graduate students may use an internship to serve as the culminating project for the Master of Liberal Studies. The faculty of the Department of Information Networking and Telecommunications warn that such an internship should not be used as a culminating project by persons considering graduate work beyond the master’s level. A culminating internship must be approved by the student’s graduate advisor and must have significant activities that require a student to demonstrate competencies developed in the MLS graduate work. A graduate student choosing an internship as the culminating project must complete a traditional comprehensive examination to satisfy the requirements of the Fort Hays State University Graduate School.
