The Information Technology program prepares students for careers in computer maintenance and troubleshooting, field services electronic technician, computer network installation and troubleshooting, database design and administration, and computer programming. Curriculum is designed to develop skills, attitudes, and competencies for achieving employment, upgrading existing skills or preparing for further study at a university.
The Information Technology program offers students three degree options: AAS (Associate of Applied Science) in Information Technology Systems, AAS in Information Management Systems and an AS (Associate Degree) in Computer Science. Under the Information Technology Systems degree there are three emphasis areas: Computer Maintenance, Field Services Technician and Networking. Under the Information Management Systems degree there are two emphasis areas: data management and programming. The student can also get a certificate in each of these five emphasis areas and in Computer Game Development. The AS degree in Computer Science may be used to pursue a four year degree in Computer Science at a university.
Degree options consist of 66-72 semester credit hours and generally take two years to complete, while Certificate options range from 18-37 semester credit hours and can take from one to three semesters to complete. Students interested in any of these degrees or certificates should contact the Business Studies Division office to obtain additional information and/or acquire a degree or certificate plan. Please note that courses that require prerequisites are denoted by
