Students say one of best parts about the IT program is the ability to experiment with the same equipment they will be maintaining when they enter the workforce.

Graduates in High Demand

Computer scientists and database administrators are expected to be among the fastest growing occupations through 2024, according to the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Job increases will be driven by very rapid growth in computer systems design and related services, which is projected to be one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. economy.

Flexibility by Design

This is a hands-on program. Many courses are laboratory intensive. Some courses are available online and some courses are available in a hybrid format, where students attend lab but the lecture materials are presented online.
