Associate Degree Program
Information Technology
There has already been an explosion of computer users in business. These users neither know, nor need to know, very much about how a computer works in order to use it. Therefore there is a great demand for “user’s advocates” to help them decide which technology is appropriate for their needs and to help them deploy and use that technology. The Information Technology degree program will arm students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become one of these much sought after advocates.
Information Technology students will learn to “make things work” for people in today’s business. The curriculum will develop students’ competencies in four major areas: technical/practical skills, business/soft skills, industry/field experience and certifications. The School of Information Technology teaches students to apply what they have learned and to solve practical business problems by creating applications that support the problem solving and decision-making needs of the corporate community.
