Information Technology

Curriculum

The Information Technology program prepares students to install, support, and troubleshoot the computers, networks, and software that keep organizations running. Students gain hands-on experience with operating systems, databases, web technologies, and networking fundamentals, along with the customer-service skills that define strong help desk and support technicians.

Lab-based coursework mirrors real support environments — diagnosing hardware issues, administering user accounts, configuring network devices, and documenting solutions clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences. A capstone project has students plan and deliver a complete IT solution for a client scenario.

Graduates are prepared for roles such as help desk technician, computer support specialist, desktop support analyst, or junior network technician, with a solid foundation for continued study in networking or cybersecurity.
