In the classroom students are exposed to the concepts and principles necessary to effectively manage information technology in the contemporary business environment. Typically, students will have earned at least 90 credits at the college level with a primary focus on information technology or computer sciences. The program allows students to earn a bachelor's degree in fourteen months of work and study. Classes begin in late June and go through the end of August. This classroom phase is then followed by a nine-month paid cooperative educational experience in the computer industry.
Students then return to the college for a second summer of course work to complete the program.
