Information Technology Minor

The information technology minor is intended for students in any major who wish to achieve knowledge in information technology.

Students must complete 18 hours in this curriculum: twelve hours of required technology courses, three hours selected from the menu of approved courses, and three hours in a directed technology project in the area of their choice.
