INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
(Interdisciplinary)

Dr. L. Patterson, coordinator

The College of Arts and Sciences offers an interdisciplinary minor in information technology which provides students with the opportunity to develop an understanding of technology and its impact on society and in the workplace.  Because information technology affects virtually all aspects in society:  education, business, and industry; the study of information technology is best suited to an interdisciplinary approach.  In this interdisciplinary minor, students will encounter various aspects of information technology that directly impacts their chosen course of study.  Students should contact the coordinator in the Department of Computer Science for additional information.
