Distance Education
Our graduates agree: distance education offers tremendous advantages

over traditional on-campus training.
As a CIE student, you can study on your own time, so you can keep your
present job and “earn while you learn”. CIE lets you tailor your education
to your career goals, so you can focus on just the training you need.

Bringing Technology Home.
We’re here to help you!
CIE prepares its students to become skilled technicians
and engineering technologists who will solve the
electronic engineering and computer problems of
tomorrow. In order to accomplish these goals, the
college retains a staff of highly trained admissions
advisors, similar to a traditional school. CIE advisors are
here to help you decide on a career path that is right for
you. They will be more than happy to assist you with any
questions you may have regarding CIE.
Some of the most frequently asked questions by
prospective students are answered on page 39 of this
catalog. However, you may have your own questions
that are unique to your situation. Please call our
admissions advisors at 1-800-243-6446 and they will be
able to talk with you at length about your specific career
training goals. Since a catalog may not provide all the
answers to questions you may have, this individualized
help from an experienced advisor may be what you need
to get started on the right career path.
