General Information

The Minor in Information Technology is designed for those students who wish to gain an edge on using computers in society today. The minor focus is on the applied end of computer Science. It is intended for anyone who wishes to have an overall practical or working knowledge of computer science and current applications.

Courses in the minor fall into a few categories. First is the software application courses. These courses are those which utilize current applications with the intent of teaching familiarity and how they can best be utilized in today's marketplace. This includes our wordprocessing and spreadsheet classes. Courses in this category are not as detailed in theory as the rest. The third category is the theorectical, computer science courses. These courses include more theory, design issues of hardware, distributed computing, network design, etc. They also require the most effort of the three categories. The second category is a mix of the first and third categories. They are more detailed than category one courses, but not as complex as the category three courses.
