Major in Computer and Information Technology (BA/BS)
The Computer and Information Technology program transforms students into technology leaders in a sustainable global economy.
This is achieved by presenting students with a strong foundation in the concepts, theories, and practices that serve as the basis for the varying aspects of information technology. This includes the design, implementation, and administration of secured systems and networks. Students will learn these skills as they apply to both on-premise and cloud infrastructures. Students then have the opportunity to gain more depth of knowledge by selecting a required concentration in Network Infrastructure or Systems Infrastructure.
