Why a Support In Computing and Information Technology?

A support area (minor) in Computing and Information Technology empowers you to use and manage computing and information technology effectively and ethically. As you proceed through your computing and information technology courses, you will work to understand and develop skills in communicating and problem solving both with and through the computer.

Revolutionary advances in microprocessors, along with advancements in software, storage devices and telecommunications, are responsible for quantum shifts in information accessibility and management. Indeed, computer technology is transforming virtually all other technologies. Thus, regardless of your major area of study, you will find that a support area in computing and information technology complements your academic work, enhances your professional development, and fosters your ingenuity and imagination.

The Curriculum:
The computing and information technology curriculum balances technical and theoretical knowledge with practical application. The technical and theoretical components enable you to understand how the computer works, to appreciate its power and to identify important trends. The practical components enable you to function as an independent computer user and to develop effective computer applications.
