The Information Technology Department offers three concentrations as part of the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology: Software Engineering Technology, Network Engineering Technology and Cyber Security Technology.
A key feature of these programs is the choice between the senior project and the cooperative learning experience in the final two quarters. In the senior project, each student works with a faculty member to develop and present a project that focuses in depth on a particular topic and allows the student to bring together knowledge gained throughout the program.
The cooperative learning experience, based on industry demand and with the approval of the IT Department Chair, may be available during the final two quarters of the program. These experiences, which may be paid or unpaid, allow students to receive college credit and to work off-campus in an organization where they will practice and enhance their technical skills. Typically, and when available, students will work in the same organization for the final two quarters of the bachelor degree program.
The Cyber Security program is designed to prepare students for a rewarding career in the Network Security industry. The Bachelor of Science degree is ideal for students who already possess an Associate degree in Network Engineering or related discipline. The curriculum includes core topics in the realm of Cyber Security, such as: Computer Systems, Mobile and Network Forensics, Windows and Linux Security and Incident Response.
Students will learn best practices for the design of secure modern networks as well as how to secure existing computers and networks. Students will learn about evolving threats and the proper use of specific security tools. Both security theory and hands on practice are stressed.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Cyber Security students can compete for positions like: Systems Operations & Maintenance Professional, Network Security Specialist, Digital Forensics and Incident Response Specialist and Vulnerability Analyst. Positions in law enforcement will also be attainable. While the emphasis of the program is on Network Security, graduates are qualified for positions advertised as network administrators, network engineers and network analysts.
