The learning experience at JP Catholic is influenced by the late Pope John Paul II's challenge that the world needs genuine witnesses to Christian ethics in the field of business making the world's marketplaces and workplaces better for every race and creed.

John Paul the Great Catholic University plans to offer a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Technology (approval has not been requested from the State of California BPPVE for this degree program). While the applications within Technology degree programs will focus strongly on media-enabling technologies and their commercialization, the student may chose to apply his/her skills to the broads fields of digital media, computer engineering and computer science.

The following are the planned areas of emphasis:

BS Degree in	Emphasis	Launch Date
Technology	Computer Engineering	TBD
	Computer Science	TBD

Computer Engineering
Graduates of this area of emphasis can expect to acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge that will position them on the frontiers of the technology and architecture of complex and cutting-edge electronics products. Students will learn the fundamental and interdisciplinary principles of electrical, mechanical, and software engineering. They will learn how successful product companies combine technical principles with various novel market opportunities to gain marketplace competitive advantage. Graduates will be skilled in product concept selection and design through launch. Graduates will expect to pursue career opportunities as innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs either in their own companies or with existing enterprises.
