Courses in the department facilitate students’ understanding of the role of computers in education, communication and media, business and strategic decision-making.

Students will gain hands-on experience with software applications that allow information gathering, critical evaluation, organization and presentation. Students will also explore the social and ethical implications of the development and application of technology.

A minor in information technology will expand the student’s skill set, providing preparation for careers, graduate school and life in a technological society. Students choosing a minor in information technology will utilize the most current software and hardware programs to gain additional skills necessary for success in the liberal arts.
