| Minor in IT | Certificates The College of Science and Technology is currently offering two levels of Information Technology (ITEC) certificates. These certificates are valuable in demonstrating to an employer that you have attained a certain level of competency with Information Technology. They are also a good way to experiment with the field of Information Technology to determine if you would like to pursue it further. The certificates are available to any students. The only prerequisite required is a grade of C or higher in MATH 1111 (College Algebra). The certificates are useful for someone with an interest in computers but who does not want to major in Computer Science. For example, you may want to pursue or Bachelor of Information Technology Degree.
Two levels of certificates are available.
The Level 1 certificate is called the Certificate of Information Technology with Applications, which requires 4 classes for a total of 12 hours.
- ITEC 1300 - Fundamentals of Information
Technology (3 credits)
Focus on the three components of fluency in Information Technology: intellectual capabilities involving reasoning, complexity management, organization, and communication; concepts involving computers, informations systems, networks, digital representation of information, and algorithmic thinking; skills involving setting up a PC, using an operating system, using the Internet, and using instructional materials to learn how to use new applications. - CSCI 1050 - Computer Concepts and
Applications
or CSCI 1060 - Computer Concepts and Applications for Science Students (3 credits) - CSCI 1150 - Fundamentals of the Internet and World Wide Web (3 credits)
- ITEC 1310 - Programming in Visual Basic (3
credits)
Introduction to the Visual Basic programming language, and the concepts and techniques of microcomputer windows and GUI programming. Syntax of Visual Basic, forms, properties, controls, variables, decision structures, functions, and subroutines. Modular programs for event-driven applications will be developed.
The Level 2 certificate is called the Certificate of Information Technology with Programming, which requires the Level 1 certificate plus 2 additional programming courses for a total of 19 hours.
- CSCI 1301 - Introduction to Programming Principles (4 credits)
- CSCI 1302 - Advanced Programming Principles (3 credits)
The following links are to PDF files that spell out all of the requirements for the certificates. If you have successfully completed a certificate, please complete the form for the appropriate level and bring it to the Department of Computer Science. Hard copies of these forms are available in the Department of Information Technology. For further information please contact Lindsey Blount.
