Information Technology Program

What is the Information Technology Program?

The Information Technology Program is a unique, two to three-year program designed to prepare college or career bound students for a variety of careers in the information technology field.

Students can take classes that prepare and qualify them to work in computer related jobs right out of high school. The program offers paid internships with local businesses that provide real world experience. High level design and logic curriculum also makes students better critical thinkers, and provides them with cognitive and practical skills that will help them succeed in post-secondary education and beyond. 

Full ITA graduates are equally well prepared for the work place, or any University program, and can even get a head start on credits.

Information Technology Program students will study the latest in programming applications, such as C# and Visual Studio 2008. In the Operating Systems (OS) and Data Types class, students dual and triple boot, install OSs, use Linux, and investigate the nuances of data types, file structures, and implementation/storage methodologies. 

The year long A+ Certification class prepares the student for hardware and software testing with CompTIA, an internationally recognized leader in certification. 

Programming, Video Game Design, and Web Design all empower the student with design theory, tools, and practice that will allow them to create in a way that is only limited by their imagination.
