AS - Computer Information Technology
The Associate of Science degree with a major in Computer Information Technology program is designed to provide the graduate with a foundation for success at an entry-level position in the Information Technology field or to provide the basis for completion of a Bachelor’s degree. Instructional methods include lectures, seminars, workshop activities, simulation, and physical manipulation of computer equipment.
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of decision-making from a Christian worldview.
- Develop an academic foundation for the completion of a business-related baccalaureate degree.
- Develop a knowledge base that demonstrates exposure to liberal arts instruction.
- Integrate basic business principles, concepts, and skills.
- Demonstrate a competency in computer technology application.
The courses in the program relate theory to practice, but practical knowledge of the computer field is the primary objective of the computer courses in the core. Instructional methods include lectures, seminars, workshop activities, simulations, and physical manipulation of computer equipment. Courses are primarily three credit hours, and each course is a required component of the program (core) and should be taken in sequence.
The curriculum will be completed in the order established by Indiana Wesleyan University. Indiana Wesleyan University reserves the right to modify the curriculum as necessary.
