COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM CORE CURRICULUM - 2009
Computer Information Technology
(Certificate Programs):
Overview
The Computer Information Technology Department (CIT) has a clear, well-articulated, three-pronged
mission, which includes supporting the IT components of the college's General Education offerings
(across divisions, departments, and campuses, as well as through interdepartmental collaboration),
preparing an IT workforce through certificate and associate degree offerings, and providing IT
students with seamless transfer opportunities to related Baccalaureate Degree programs.
The Computer Technology Certificate Program Core Curriculum affords students the opportunity to explore the many certificate career tracks in Information Technology before selecting a career as a
Computer Support, Data Base or EXCEL Support Specialist. To enhance employability, the certificate
programs are designed to allow some students to earn more than a single certificate.
The department’s goals are in concert with the college’s goals. Using input from its Industry Advisory
Committees and internship course, the department is continually updating and fine tuning its programs
of study.
