Information Technology Major

The School of Computing and Information Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology as a single major.

As of the Fall 2010 semester, the requirements for the degree have changed. Courses that are marked with * are for students who declared the major before Fall 2010. Courses marked with + are for students who declare the major after the Summer 2010 semester. Courses marked with a * will only be offered as long as there are enough students to fill the classes. If you want to take these classes, take them as soon as possible.
