A bachelor’s degree in computer information technology prepares students for careers that go beyond traditional programming and networking. In this program of study, students can blend their creativity and technical expertise to explore careers in computer animation, graphic and Web design, digital gaming and music, or technical writing.
The B.A. in CIT degree also prepares students to study the effect technology has on society; for example, the implications of artificial intelligence and the impact of technology on children.
Enhance Your Skills
The B.A. in CIT can be paired with other liberal arts minors — including creative writing, communication or psychology — to create highly focused career paths. Students gain unique insights from our full-time CIT faculty members, who hold 28 patents in areas such as artificial intelligence, network security and network management.
Career Outlook
Information technology is projected to be the second largest area of job growth in the United States. Employers in the field want employees with broad backgrounds who can develop new solutions. Students who integrate their liberal arts studies with CIT programs are valuable and rare, while the demand for well-rounded IT professionals continues to grow in the United States.
