Wireless communication can encompass a wide variety of technologies, including radio and TV broadcasting, Wi-Fi, cellular phones, and even satellite communications. Students may learn about everything from public policy to engineering by pursuing this course of study.

Many students earn associate degrees during their first few years of higher education. Since they usually require about two years of study, these degrees can act either as job qualifications or as precursors to more advanced degrees.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
