INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - IT PROFESSIONAL
Center and South Campuses
The IT program emphasizes the use of computers to solve business problems. The curriculum currently consists of the following six specialties: IT Applications Professional, IT Professional, IT Networking Specialist, IT Programming, IT Programming for Electronic Games, and IT Web Programming.
The Information Technology - IT Professional program is designed to prepare students for two types of Information Technology positions--inexperienced students seeking entry-level positions and experienced students seeking either IT management positions or IT project management positions where breadth of technical knowledge is required. The program will give the student a background in windows-based applications (word processing, spreadsheet applications, presentations, database management), web design, programming, and networking. The program will give the student the broad background in computers necessary for business, industry, and government job environments.
Please contact program advisor, Professor Yi Li Zhuang (586.445.7353) for the most current course and program specialty offerings.
