Information Technology (BS)

For students interested in the assessment of users’ technology needs, and the evaluation, application, administration, and support of technology, we offer a major and minor in information technology. The major provides students with a solid technical grounding in computer science and information technology, as well as education in the interpersonal skills of communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making that are vital to the IT industry. An information technologist determines user needs and then develops, manages, and supports technology-based solutions. Students take courses in communication, management, philosophy, and computer science and information technology. Students are prepared for a broad range of careers such as web content provider/ manager, web developer, web administrator, IT consultant, network support, customer/ desktop support, system integrator, system analyst, and application developer.
