Computer Information Technology (BS)
At Vermont Tech, you’ll get both the classroom and real-world experience you need to design, build, and deploy dynamic software systems; scalable and secure data networks; and telecommunication infrastructures. Our students develop the technical savvy necessary to effectively interact with software developers at a detailed level while recognizing the big-picture business viewpoint and how to communicate effectively with the rest of an organization.
Graduates of this program are prepared to understand the organization and technology of computers, databases, networking, and other information technologies. Students are introduced to the breadth of technologies and to the basics of the business world.
Because of the broad technological background this program provides, students are well-prepared to enter new technical areas as the field expands and evolves.

In addition to the student outcomes included in the associate program, a student with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Technology will be able to:
- Use relational databases to solve information management problems
- Apply best security practices to safeguard information systems
- Apply significant technical knowledge in their field of study to solve technical problems
- Work effectively as a member of a team to design, develop, and implement solutions to technical problems
- Make ethical professional decisions in their careers
All students actively participate in the design, development, and evaluation of a sizable information technology system and present the results of that effort.
The student, in conjunction with the Department Chair, may develop a sequence of courses to best meet their background and needs that still satisfies the degree requirements. A typical curriculum is shown here.
