Information Technology

Note: For purposes of meeting program requirements, all foundations courses will count as six credits towards the major or minor.

The departments of Mathematics and Statistics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Political Science and the divisions of Social Science and Humanities offer a pattern of study that combines departmental specialization within the field of information technology. The Information Technology Program is housed in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
