Computer Information Technology Department Chair: Dean William Gillett Southern New Hampshire University’s CIT major is reaching a new generation of students with innovative programs that integrate IT with other disciplines including business, entertainment, information security, and management. The next generation of IT professionals will be better prepared than any preceding one to balance the demands of being both a business person and a technologist thanks to the integration of IT studies with business courses and skills such as game design, information security, and global IT management. IT is projected as the second largest area of occupational growth in the United States, and the message from industry is that there is a need for a combined capability of IT and general business skills. SNHU is well positioned to respond to this need. We provide a depth of both core and elective IT classes that provide graduates with a solid foundation for entering the new business landscape. Students can focus their elective courses to concentrate on areas such as digital graphics, IT security, and other high-demand areas. Businesses today are looking for employees with capabilities beyond traditional programming and IT expertise. People who can bridge the communication gap between IT and business are valuable and hard to find, and the U.S. demand for this new breed of IT professional is growing. The SNHU IT major prepares students for just these kinds of positions. The IT faculty at SNHU have extensive business experience and connections, published fourteen books in the area, hold twenty-eight patents, and publish in the professional literature. Students benefit by exposure to leading edge knowledge and skills in both the classroom and through internship placements.
shaping their course of study to fit their individual academic and professional interests in this constantly evolving field. A diverse set of classes has been developed, ranging from traditional programming to the newest techniques and tools for E-commerce. We provide a pool of electives and course arrangements for the greatest flexibility in customizing each student’s curriculum for his/her particular needs. We encourage interdisciplinary studies. Faculty advisors are available to guide and encourage students to actively participate in designing and customizing the program of study to meet their specialized individual needs by selecting a suite of classes to match their interests, and developing an individualized academic study plan. Additionally, beyond the “defined” programs, topical seminars are offered within the context of scheduled courses, and through ongoing seminar programs on campus that allow the introduction of emerging technology and other “new” topics.
