Computer Information Technology (9720)
The Associate of Technical Studies Degree in Computer Information Technology prepares or upgrades the graduate for career objectives requiring more than one computer-related specialization. Specializations can be combined from within, but not limited to, areas such as network support, end-user support, data analysis, software design and development, web content design and development, and media studies. Available courses include those that prepare for industry certification from Oracle, Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, and Google. In addition to employment opportunities, students have the option to continue their education beyond the two-year associate degree program by enrolling in bachelor degree programs at local universities.
The student will be required to complete a sequence of core IT courses which will fulfill the necessary prerequisites before taking additional technical courses. Students will then select the appropriate additional technical courses from multiple areas of study with assistance from an Information Technology & Computer Science/ATS faculty advisor.
Admission requirements include the creation of an individualized degree plan in conjunction with and approved by at least two Information Technology & Computer Science faculty members. Courses taken prior to approval of the degree plan may or may not be approved for inclusion in this degree program.
