Bachelor’s degree in information technology
Students in this four-year degree program complete courses in three areas that are critical for success in the IT world: business, information technology and general education. They graduate with well-honed communication skills, an understanding of business as it relates to IT and in-depth knowledge of the most common hardware, software, database and networking technologies. They also complete a Career Development course that gets them started on their job searches in the last quarter of the program.
Associate of information technology
Students in the AAS program in information technology can complete this IT associate’s degree in as little as 18 months of full-time study – less if they receive credit for prior learning and experience. We have found that students in this program are often already performing some of the duties of an IT professional in their workplaces. Not only can they receive college credit, when they complete their degrees, they may also be able to command higher salaries for work they already do. Our representative can advise you if this describes your situation.
