Types of Jobs Available
The Associate of Applied Science degree in Computer Information Technology prepares students for a wide variety of rewarding careers in information technology.
There is a market for people with software development, cybersecurity, networking, and computer support skills in organizations of all sizes. IT careers are available in every area of the economy. Every industry area (health, education, business, transportation, government, and manufacturing) relies on computers and the people who make them work.
Program Overview
The Applications Development focus trains students to design and code software applications on different computer platforms (PC, web, and mobile). Courses train students to code Java and C# applications for PCs, develop basic iOS and Android apps for mobile devices, and work behind the scenes developing web sites using JavaScript, ASP, JSP, and SQL.
Cybersecurity students complete hands-on training to meet the growing need for security professionals in IT. Students learn security practices, cyber defense techniques, and digital forensics related to the protection of today’s networks and critical information systems.
In the Network Management focus, students set up, maintain, and manage computer networks in both a Windows and Linux environment. They learn to use PowerShell, set up virtual machines, and work with Cisco networking.
Computer Support students are trained to work as the main IT technician in a company or as a member of a team providing help desk and computer support. Students gain hands-on training in the setup, maintenance, troubleshooting, and support of computer hardware and software.
New students are accepted into the program in both the Fall and Spring semesters.
Face-to-face classroom courses are offered day and evening. Many, but not all, courses are available online. Students who are unable to attend day classes can complete all degree requirements taking a combination of evening and online courses.
Students attending full-time can complete the degree in two years. The program welcomes part-time students who choose to carry a lighter load and take longer to complete the degree.

All students start into the program taking the same group of courses. While completing those courses, students can make a decision about which focus to pursue.
“Advisor approved INFO electives” can be any INFO course (except INFO1005) not listed as a requirement in the focus.
Prerequisite and co-requisite INFO and ELEC courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or higher to continue through the program.
