Bachelor of Arts in Information Technology/Master of Science in Computer Science

Students applying to the grad track option should be majors in the department’s Information Technology, BS. Students are eligible for acceptance at the end of their junior year. Approval will be considered once a student has completed at least 75 credit hours. One benchmark is whether or not the student is ready for CSE Senior Design in the following fall semester.

The mission of the B.A. in Information Technology is to provide an educational program that is high quality, academically challenging and career-enriching by maintaining a balance between theoretical and experimental aspects of information technology, as well as a balance between software and hardware concepts. The B. A. in Information Technology has been ABET-accredited since 2012 and educates students about developing computer software systems in an information technology environment, such as database, network or systems administration. The program provides flexibility through concentration areas including business, game development, pre-law, security and networking, and teaching certification to become a K-12 computer science teacher.
