The Information Technology program is designed to offer students a concentrated program using microcomputers to support today’s emerging business technologies. Students may choose from two concentrations: Web Technology and Computer Programming within the associate degree.

The Web Technology concentration will provide students with skills in the development of web-based applications including the incorporation of a variety of media as well as the use of scripting languages to build data-driven web sites. Students will create and publish web sites as well as learn the skills of managing a web-server. Upon completing this concentration, students will find employment in a variety of technology-based careers such as webmasters, instructional support specialists, microcomputer support specialists, and entry-level managers of the information technology function within a variety of organizations. The computer programming concentration will provide students with the flexibility to enter the workforce or continue their education.

There are several courses for which students may receive credit by exam by passing the appropriate industry certification exam. These exams and courses for which credits by exam may be earned are as follows:
