Overview

Information Technology programs prepare students for a wide array of Information Technology (IT) career paths. IT encompasses computer professional careers and positions, from Tech Support to Cyber Security, and from Office Work to Business Analyst. Careers in IT deal with the design, creation, management, maintenance, and business use of the varied components of computer systems, including software, hardware, networks, and the cloud. The field spans a broad range of industries, including technology, healthcare, finance, retail, government and education; and includes jobs that involve business computer applications, databases, technical and customer support services, web authoring/developing, Internet information research, network administration, and cybersecurity. Some courses prepare students for industry certifications such as CompTIA’s, A+, Network+, Security+, or Microsoft’s MSCE. The curriculum also provides valuable computer experience and training for students who are enrolled in other disciplines of the College.
