Information technology (IT) is the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data or information.

The IT major is focused on highly relevant skills in fields of

• Cybersecurity
• Computer networking
• End-user design and development (mobile and web development)

We go beyond the science behind computers, teaching you how to design and develop solutions in a wide range of computing and networking application areas. We will provide you with the knowledge and skills to meet the computer technology needs of business, government, healthcare, education, and other organizations.

In addition to core competencies in programming and networking and other application-focused computing fields, the IT major features a junior-level project to address a community need, as well as a senior capstone project allowing students to apply the range of their abilities in a real-world context.

How does IT differ from Computer Information Systems (CIS) and Computer Science (CS)? 
CS, CIS, and IT fall under the umbrella of computing. However, the IT major is more focused on the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data or information.
