If you're not sure which IT major you want to pursue, the Lower Division Program gives you the freedom and the flexibility to find out which direction you'd like to take before you commit to a specific major. You'll also enjoy a small-college experience amid the opportunities and advantages of a major research university. At orientation, you'll be assigned to a team with 80 to 100 other IT students who share common interests. Team members take calculus, physics, and chemistry together and are assigned a team of advisors. Classes are prereserved for students.
Teams also plan social events, field trips, and other college-sponsored outings.
All IT lower division students meet with an advisor every term before they register for classes. The first-year curriculum offers a solid grounding in fundamental courses. It's also flexible, so students can transfer between IT departments or to other colleges with minimal loss of credits and time. If you need a little extra help with your IT classes, you'll be able to use the college's extensive tutorial services, which are administered by the IT Lower Division Programs Office. These services available to all IT students free of charge.
