Information Technology

Grand View offers a fully online Bachelor of Arts in Information Technology (48 credit hours) or a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (57 credit hours). Both programs prepare students for a variety of roles in technology, including networking, analyst, programmer and information systems manager.

The Bachelor of Science give students the opportunity to specialize in a particular area, and complete part, if not most, of a stackable certificate in Cloud Application Development, Data Analytics or Project Management.

Both programs have a strong emphasis on skills-based learning, which will prepare students to complete the CompTIA A+, Project Management and Network certifications. Students have coursework in networking and security, coding (Python), SQL, cloud computing, Agile and more. And projects are hands on and geared toward developing job and industry skills.

While this program can be completed entirely online, students can take some in-person, daytime computer sciences classes if they choose.

Information & Technology Management Minor

Successful management of technology-driven businesses today requires that employees work effectively in interdisciplinary teams. Team-based project management requires that each member of the team contribute not only in his or her own area of expertise, but in other aspects of the project as well. The better equipped a new employee is to reach this level of competency quickly, the more valuable will be his or her contributions. Moreover, an employee having such competency will be better prepared to assume positions of increased responsibility and challenge.

This minor is designed to prepare students for success in a wide variety of careers. Today, more than ever, employers have high expectations of undergraduate hires.
