Bachelor of Science - Information Technology MajorThe School of Science and Technology offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Information Technology. The Information Technology Major includes concentrations in Systems and Security, Software Development offered both on campus and online, Enterprise Systems, Digital Media and Data Science and Analytics. Laboratory CoursesMany courses in the School of Science and Technology include both a class and a laboratory component. The laboratory and class components complement each other as integrated elements of a course that facilitate the accomplishment of the Course Outcome Goals. As such they cannot be separated. Students must pass both the lab and class. If a student fails either the class or the laboratory component, they will receive a fail grade and must repeat the class. Laptop Requirement for I.T.
