INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer "C" 2008 and after) |
|
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab,
Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements neccessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
In the emerging connected society, information and information technology are ubiquitous and influence almost all forms of human activity. Modern IT professionals use information and technology to support the goals and cultures of the people and organizations they serve. The College of Information's Bachelor of Science in information technology (IT) program prepares graduates who can apply technology innovatively, manage information purposefully, communicate effectively, and work productively with people. Successful information technology professionals determine an organization's information needs and then design, create, and manage information systems to meet those needs. In the IT program students participate in hands-on learning experiences designed to develop and hone leadership skills in communication, technology, teamwork, information management, critical thinking, and problem solving.
The BS in IT program is forty-two (42) semester hour program, offering multiple concentrations. The program requires (4) four foundation courses, (2) two introductory courses, (2) twocapstone courses, and six (6) elective courses. Students can focus on topics such as Databases, Networking, Security, Web development and administration, Information Architecture, Project Management, and usability.
