Prepare for the future....
The Information Technology major is an interdisciplinary major that combines courses in information technology, computer science, management, communications, and philosophy. It prepares students for a broad range of careers such as web content provider/manager, web developer, web administrator, IT consultant, network support, customer/desktop support, sytem integrator, system analyst and application developer.

Information technologists require specialized knowledge of computer network systems, database development, and web design. They work closely with all departments within a business or organization to determine users’ needs and to facilitate meeting those needs. They communicate in writing and in formal business presentations. They also manage and implement change.

The goal of the Information Technology major is to provide students with a strong technical foundation in information technology and computer science and to cultivate the interpersonal skills of teamwork, communication, and ethical decision-making. The major also aims to strengthen students’ ability to analyze problems logically and to design complex systems to solve those problems. Because of the rapidly changing nature of technology, information technologists have to upgrade their skills continuously. The major is designed to help students learn how to learn and how to read and communicate technical material.
