Why Earn a Degree in Information Technology?
Our B.S. in IT now allows students to choose courses from over 50 available supporting areas. These new areas are in collaboration with many UNT departments, and allow students
to receive certification*, and diversify their academic coursework to concentrate
on a specific career after college.
The B.S. in Information Technology has been ABET-accredited since 2012 and educates
students about developing computer software systems in an information technology environment,
such as database, network or systems administration. The program provides flexibility

and networking, and teaching certification to become a K-12 computer science teacher.
