Major in Information Technology—39 hours

Whereas the Computer Science major is more theoretical in nature, Information Technology is more practical and includes organizational issues and information systems. It deals more with soft skills and has fewer math prerequisites. IT produces graduates who possess the right combination of knowledge and practical, hands-on expertise to take care of both an organization’s information technology infrastructure and the people who use it.
