BS in Information Technology
The information technology program provides a broad base of core, computer-related skills, and knowledge — programming, networking, human computer interaction, databases, and web systems. Students become technically competent in computer systems and learn how to manage existing technologies. But they also learn “context” — how to advocate for users.
Below is a sample plan of study. Consult your degree audit for your program requirements.
