BS Information Technology
Information technology (IT) is the study, design, creation, utilization, support and management of computer-based information systems, especially software applications and computer hardware. IT is not limited solely to computers though. With technologies quickly developing in the fields of mobile devices, the field of IT is quickly moving from compartmentalized computer-focused areas to other forms of mobile and distributed technology. The IT major develops broad, integrated knowledge spanning the range from telecommunications and computer networking through computer-based information systems to the management of IT applications and projects. It is the ideal major for the student who is passionate about developing the ability to:
• Evaluate current and emerging computing and information technologies;
• Apply, configure and manage computing and information technologies;
• Assess the impact of computing and information technologies on individuals, organizations, and society;
• Gain the business knowledge and skills needed to be successful in a competitive and challenging global information-technology-driven economy;
• Complement integrated IT knowledge with a strong understanding of key managerial and organizational concepts;
• Develop skill sets that are aligned with industry needs and problem-solving of real-world computing and information technology challenges.
The information technology minor is designed to provide students with a general knowledge of the requirements of commercial computing. It can be very helpful to business students who expect to be involved in corporate computing issues. This program matches very well with any of the majors offered by the College of Business.
