University as the focus for employing Information Technology
(IT) in the efficient solution of the entire range of business
problems.
The administration and management of today's business and

for the efficient achievement of their goals. Collection,
storage, and retrieval of data by computers are involved in
the wide range of business activities including daily operations,
management decision-making, and long-range planning. As the
dependence of management on Information Technology grows,
so does the need for Information Technology specialists. The
courses and degree programs are described below.
Educational Objectives

the student with the key Information Technology skills needed
in today's business environment, plus a firm grounding in

analysts, or other Information Technology positions.
