This program provides students with knowledge and abilities that prepare them for careers in IT (Information Technology) and for continued professional development. The IT professional understands, evaluates, applies, and manages the information technology resources of individuals and organizations to assist them in achieving their goals and objectives. In addition to providing such preparation in an ever changing technical landscape, this program prepares students to be effective communicators and contributing collaborators in multiple domains.
The major courses follow a well-defined prerequisite structure with pervasive topics, such as security, spanning multiple courses. A noteworthy aspect of the program is that the Cognate Area requires both breadth and depth of study in relevant areas and provides an opportunity for the completion of a related minor. A capstone course in the senior year requires each student to complete a project under the direction of a faculty advisor. Also, this major requires an internship or practicum experience.
Information Technology students may be interested in the combined MBA Five-Year Program .
