Through effective integration of hardware and software, computing technology enables conveniences on which modern life depends. The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology offers a core of courses that give students a broad command of the software and hardware concepts and skills that will enable them to describe, design, and implement such technologies. It also offers concentrations that lead to a variety of in-demand technology certifications that give students more focused credentials and skill sets.

IV. Recommended Minors
Pursuing a minor gives students an opportunity to explore an area of interest in greater depth. Information Technology professionals help organizations of all kinds access, store, communicate and secure their data, and this gives students great freedom to choose a minor that aligns with their personal or professional interests. However, the following minors align most closely with the coursework of the major:
- Minor in Computer Science
- Minor in Cybersecurity
- Minor in Data Science
- Minor in Mathematics
The requirements for some of these minors overlap with those of the major. To earn a minor, a student must take at least two upper-division courses that count exclusively for the minor. A student may not both major and minor in Information Technology.
