IT Programmer/Analyst Program Overview

The Information Technology-Programmer/Analyst (ITPA) program prepares students as software developers. Skills obtained will support employment in business and eBusiness environments. Major skills that students can achieve include: 

• Use problem solving and analytical thinking to create software solutions for employer.
• Develop and/or modify computer applications and web sites.
• Utilize technology and programming tools that interact with databases.
• Write test and document programs.
• Design and develop 3D models and simulations.

The ITPA Program provides students with a choice of two emphases (tracks): the Programmer Emphasis or the Simulation Emphasis. Each emphasis focuses on a specific set of skills; however, both tracks share many of the same courses. The first semester courses are the same for both emphases, giving students a semester to decide which emphasis they prefer.  In addition, many students complete both emphases to obtain a broader skill set, leading to a wider variety of job possibilities.
