The career program in Information Technology is designed to offer students several paths of study leading to an A.A.S. degree in their chosen field. The program is designed to be flexible and diverse so as to offer students the opportunity to choose a career path that best suits their interests and provides them with marketable skills for entering the global job market, or for continuing their education. This program offers specialization in web technology, network technology, technical support specialist, and high performance computing. Avenues for various career paths could include positions at national supercomputing and science laboratories, continuing on in the undergraduate and eventually graduate programs at other institutions, or positions in the corporate world (banks, financial institutions, etc.).
