The Information Technology minor program is designed to provide computer related education for students majoring in other disciplines, but interested in the Information Technology field and computing well beyond a general education level.  The development of the Information Technology minor emphasizes the value of broadening skills and experience over and above the boundaries of a single discipline with computer related education.

The pervasive nature and profound impact of the computing and information technology in today’s information age create many opportunities for cross disciplinary education.  Cross-disciplinary programs have resulted in significant advancements such as Bioinformatics and Computational Science.  We believe that numerous future advancements will be discovered in cross-discipline areas. Students well versed in computing will be better prepared to develop solutions utilizing computing, perform research, and in some cases satisfy minimum requirements for entry into computational intensive scientific fields.
