A.A.S. Computer Information Technology

The Computer Information Technology (CITE) program prepares students for careers in information technology by offering a one-year intermediate technical certificate, a two-year advanced technical certificate, and an associate of applied science degree. The A.A.S. degree in CITE is a two-year program that will prepare students for working with sophisticated networking hardware and operating system software and will lead to industry-recognized certifications. It also includes all related coursework to complete A.A.S. degree requirements.

The CITE one-year intermediate technical certificate teaches the foundation of information technology job skills and the two-year advanced technical certificate includes all the technical coursework of the A.A.S. degree, but with reduced general education requirements.
