Computer and Information Technology Course

Credit Hours: 126
Overview

COMPUTER & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM: The Bachelors of Science in Computer & Information Technology is designed to prepare students for careers as IT professionals. Our graduates hold positions as network administrators, applications programmers, website developers, database architects, operations schedulers, and technical support specialists, to name a few. Of particular interest to potential students who already have practical IT experience should be the alignment of many CIT courses with industry certifications. Consequently, students can simultaneously complete their major requirements and prepare for industry certification exams. This further makes it possible for students to receive course credit for certifications already earned.
