Information Technology, BS
Information Technology offers students a partially distinct set of abilities (relative to core computer science) and knowledge at a more pragmatic level. Students in IT will acquire the practical knowledge of networking, system administration, data management, cyber security, as well as system analysis, design, and programming.
In our computer science programs, students learn in-demand skills that employers have identified as critical for job candidates, including:
-Computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions
-Major programming domains and programming languages
-Analysis of and solutions to complex computing problems, among others
The Department of Computer Science offers study in both the theory of computer science and its applications—leading to the BS degree in computer science, which is internationally accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), or the practical, hands-on BS degree in information technology (IT). Students in the program have the opportunity to engage in research using specialized campus facilities outfitted with state-of-the-art computing technologies.
