Program Description:

The IT program emphasizes the use of computers to solve business problems. The curriculum currently consists of the following six specialties: IT Applications Professional, IT Professional, IT Networking Specialist, IT Programming, IT Programming for Electronic Games, and IT Web Programming.

The Information Technology–IT Professional program is designed to prepare students for two types of Information Technology positions–inexperienced students seeking entry‑level positions and experienced students seeking either IT management positions or IT project management positions where breadth of technical knowledge is required. The program will give the student a background in windows‑based applications (word processing, spreadsheet applications, presentations, database management), web design, programming, operating systems, content management and networking. The program will also allow students to develop a deeper knowledge in one of the following areas: programming, mobile programming, database management and programming, web programming, gaming, applications professional, operating systems and security. The program will give students the broad background in computers necessary for business, industry, and government job environments.

Career Opportunities:

Information Technology–IT Professional–Associate of Applied Science: Career options will vary based upon student’s level of experience and concentration. To learn more from a career specialist, visit the Office of Career Services at either campus or explore online at www.onetonline.org.

Information Technology‑IT Professional–Certificate: To learn more from a career specialist, visit the Office of Career Services at either campus or explore online at www.onetonline.org.

Transfer Pathways:

Students intending to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree need to make early decisions concerning an academic major and a transfer destination. Statistics show that students who make these decisions early are more likely to persist to graduation than their undecided counterparts. Students planning to transfer credits earned at Macomb are strongly urged to see a counselor or academic advisor as early as possible in their college careers. 8 Transfer Resource Guide
