Information Technology encompasses a wide range of technical, business, and social activities. In technology, attributes of technical requirements and environments change frequently and without warning. The main idea of the Information Technology program is to educate students in a utilitarian way and to make them able to experience a vast array of computing concepts and technologies that will make the student easily employable and adaptable to any organization. Additionally, the goal is to give students a desire to explore and develop a direction for their future careers in networking, cybersecurity, or application development (programming).
