Information Technology

Our Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (IT) program is designed to prepare students for a successful professional career in the rapidly evolving IT field.

The program equips students with robust technical skills and a deep understanding of IT practices within real-world contexts, preparing them to tackle complex problems across various settings.

A key component of the program is its emphasis on hands-on experience. Students gain practical knowledge through participation in industrial internships and industry-sponsored projects, ensuring they are well-prepared to apply their skills in professional environments.

The B.S. in Information Technology is the validated Program of Study (PoS) by the National Security Agency (NSA).
