AAS-ITECPO - Information Technology (Associate)

A degree in Information Technology prepares students to work in an entry-level position in any IT department, or technical support function.  Students learn the basics of Windows and Linux technology as well as SQL Database administration, cloud infrastructure, and Windows Server Active Directory with a focus on account management and proper access control design. There is also a heavy focus on virtualization and cybersecurity. Upon completion, students will have had the opportunity to earn several IT industry certifications that can be added to student resumes and will be able to demonstrate practical hands-on configuration and virtual infrastructure experience.

Career opportunities for a student with an IT degree are common.  Common entry-level positions include Help Desk or Technical Support roles which are often used as preparatory experiences prior to transferring into a back-office role in a corporate IT department.
