Information Technology

Information Technology (IT) programs prepare graduates for employment in the technology sector as designers, testers, support technicians, system administrators, developers, or programmers who use computer software and/or hardware to design, process, implement, and manage information systems in specialties such as database services, security, business intelligence, healthcare informatics and others depending on the chosen technical path. Careers may be available in private businesses, educational systems, and governmental agencies.

University Transfer

The Associate in Science (AS) is intended for students who ultimately wish to complete a baccalaureate science degree at a four-year college or university. The AS curriculum courses focus on courses such as biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, mathematics, or physics. Computer courses will be taken at the transfer university. 

Note: Students who wish to pursue a degree in Information Technology should choose the Information Technology Course Selection Guide.

Course Selection Guides offer college- and major-specific pathways for obtaining the associate’s degree and preparing for courses within the student's major after they transfer to a specific four-year university. They are based on the Transfer Degree Plans and major requirements provided by the four-year universities. Students interested in a major that is not listed or plan to transfer to a university that is not listed on the course selection guide can use the Baccalaureate Degree Plan and degree requirements provided by the four-year university. Please note that four-year universities do change their requirements without notice to Durham Tech.
