The Information Technology (IT) major is an interdisciplinary major shared by two departments: the Department of Computer Science in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Business Analytics, Information Systems and Supply Chain in the Cameron School of Business. Admission to the Cameron School of Business is not required for students in the IT major. The program develops students’ skills in the critical and practical understanding of information technology and prepares them for information technology-related work and/or further study at the graduate level. The curriculum provides a foundation for information technology professionals to have a perspective of the rapidly expanding and evolving science of technology and how it can be managed and leveraged to support business activities. The primary educational objective of the program is to produce graduates who can enter into and advance in the professions of information technology, as well as continue their education and obtain advanced degrees in this and related fields.
The B.S. Information Technology degree is offered with the following concentration areas: Business Application Development, Business Data Management, Cyber Security, and General Information Technology.
