The Information Technology Major is designed to provide students with a broad knowledge base, utilizing various technologies, such as the production of web pages, database, networking, business applications, e-commerce, and video presentations. In order to successfully meet their personal and professional challenges, students will learn the necessary theories and processes inherent in technology. Students may decide to manage networks, design and oversee databases, develop web pages, provide help desk support, or own their own small businesses. The Information Technology major is also a perfect complement to a minor in a variety of disciplines; enabling students to understand the interrelatedness of the various fields of study. Some recommended minors include: Management, Graphic Design, Communication, or English.

The final component of the major will be the creation of a digital portfolio, which will showcase the student’s work over time. The portfolio will be used as a career search tool to assist the student in obtaining a job in a variety of areas. The portfolio requirement will include writing samples, technical skill samples, a resume, and a self-reflection component. The portfolio will be graded as a component of AC 3900.
