Students hone their problem-solving skills, technical and analytical skills through programming projects and technical labs. They build on their understanding of how hardware and software function through a consistent curriculum that continually adds to the student's technical skill set. The Information Technology program focuses on the active involvement of the student in the learning  process and the effective application of computer science theory through which a proactive program of experiential opportunities. Such tasks as lab simulations, scientific research, team presentations and programming projects in a variety of information technology settings that allow the students at Fisher to combine theoretical "classroom" knowledge with practical, real-world experience.
