Specialist High
Skills Major (SHSM)
Women in Technology (ICT)
Notre Dame is pleased to offer a Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) in Women In Technology (ICT – Information and Communications Technology). This program allows students to focus on a career path that matches their technological skills and interests. Women are currently under-represented in the ICT sector, making up less than 25% of ICT professionals and the need for ICT professionals in the next decade will be growing faster than new ICT professionals entering the field. Women in technology will be in high-demand in the workforce.
