The Computer Technology program prepares students to enter the workforce in the expanding field of computer technology. Occupations related to computer technology have represented the fastest growing areas of job opportunity in the past few years. There are many career opportunities for those who become proficient in the operation, programming, support or application of the computer. A one-year certificate is also offered in Microcomputer Applications Specialist. Each gives students the ability to specialize in the area that best meets their interests and needs.
Elective courses allow students to pursue aspects of the computer industry which are of interest.
Both elective and core offerings collectively focus on creating an understanding of computer operating systems, programming, applications, and hardware. For more information see the program brochure or a Computer Technology Adviser. Each of these emphasis areas and degrees is described in detail below.
