Information Technology Certificate or Minor

The purpose of the Information Technology Certificate (ITC) is to provide an opportunity for university undergraduate students to obtain a minor in applied information and communications technology (ICT). ITC students gain knowledge and hands-on training in the area of ICT through required courses in computer networking and informatics essentials and elective course(s) in wireless, security, and cloud computing.

 This certificate offers students the opportunity to be introduced to information and communication technologies through hands-on experience with these technologies. This, in turn, expands the employment horizon of graduates of any major to include information technology career options. Certificate completers will be ready to apply for careers with software and Internet publishing companies, wireless communication providers, and businesses with ICT needs. This certificate is designed to prepare students to test for at least three industrial certification exams: A+, CCNA, Network+, Security+, and CWSP Wireless.
