Go High-tech
Computer Information Technology at SNHU
Nearly every business relies on information technology managers and technical experts to oversee information systems that support operations and drive commerce. Employees with expertise in systems analysis, networking, programming, and software engineering, in addition to finance and management, are in high demand.
With a Bachelor of Science degree in computer information technology, Southern New Hampshire University graduates will be prepared to balance the demands of being a business professional and a technologist.
Career Outlook
Students can expect vast employment opportunities after graduation. The CIT industry reports a need for employees who have both CIT and general business skills. Furthermore, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the information technology sector will grow annually, through 2012, at twice the rate of the overall job rate.
SNHU graduates with a B.S. in CIT are well-positioned to excel in key positions, thanks to IT classes that provide them with a solid foundation in both business and information technology.
Professionals who can bridge the gap between information technology and business are sought after in many organizations. Our students and graduates work for such companies as Fidelity Investments, eCopy Signa, and SCD Solutions, to name a few.
Enhance Your Skills
The B.S. in CIT is flexible enough to allow students to pair their major with minors in accounting, finance, game design or international business to further focus their interests. Students may take elective courses in 3-D modeling, digital commerce, systems security, global IT management and other areas. Our full-time CIT faculty members, who hold more than 28 patents, work with students to help them discover their interests.
