Information Technology

Computer developers are the people who change our lives as much as the fellow who invented the wheel. Without developers, computers are useless. Applications developers design, write, test, and debug software programs. Systems developers oversee and integrate the work of applications developers and serve as technical advisors to systems analysts, application programmers, and operations personnel.

There are five options within this program:

• Information Technology A.S. Degree
  • Customer Support Specialist Technical Certificate
  • Web Development Specialist Technical Certificate
  • Database Development Specialist Technical Certificate
  • Computer Programming Specialist Technical Certificate

Students may choose to pursue the Information Technology degree and earn technical certificates while completing the requirements for the degree, or pursue one or more certificate programs to develop or upgrade their skills in a particular field. Contact an advisor or counselor to determine the career education path that is best for you.
