LABS AND CLASSROOMS
We offer hands-on curriculum designed to address what is happening now in the business world. While it is helpful for students to have their own computer at home to complete coursework, it is not necessary. Students have access to over 20 computer labs in the information technology department alone with additional student computer labs, learning resource centers, and media centers at each campus.
Several rooms are set up to supply specialized training with Cisco networking, server networking, and for A+ Hardware/Support curriculum.
SUPPLIES/TOOLS
Many courses require a textbook, which is the only mandatory supply item in the Information Technology Department.
Currently-enrolled students will have access to free Microsoft software as part of an MSDNAA agreement, which includes the latest desktop and server operating platforms as well as web-based access to Word, Powerpoint, and Excel.
Many students find the use of a portable USB storage device helpful to store files that are being worked on both at home and school. Currently-enrolled students do have the use of up to 25GB of online storage for that purpose as well.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Students who do not complete the admissions process prior to enrolling in courses will be required to do so after registering for their fourth credit. Assessment is required for students who declare a major or after registering for four cumulative credits. Please see your counselor for assessment exemptions.
In general, the Information Technology program is designed to accept students at any level of computer familiarity. Initial placement testing will help best identify what courses students coming into the program should start with.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Information Technology is a very diverse field. Depending on the degree track, students completing one of our programs can be employed in the following areas:
