With the advent of the Internet and new computer innovations, the field of information technology has experienced a boom of growth and opportunity over the past decade. Through Finger Lakes Community College’s A.A.S. degree program in Information Technology, students in the Finger Lakes region can receive the preparation to meet the needs of this strong and diverse industry.
In the Associate in Applied Science Information Technology program, students will complete a set of core courses that provide a strong foundation in applications and programming as well as an introduction to specialty areas within the field. Based on their individual career goals, students then select two specialty areas, called advisement areas, on which to focus their studies. FLCC’s program includes four, separate advisement areas in:
applications and database management
electronic commerce
networking technology
Web programming
The program meets many employers’ tuition reimbursement policies and allows students to earn college credits for their studies, while at the same time they will receive the preparation needed for certification exams. While certifications often become outdated, college credits retain their value and provide the student with a strong foundation for professional growth. An additional advantage of FLCC’s program is that it can be completed through part-time, evening studies.
The goals of the A.A.S. Information Technology degree program are to:
Train students in technical areas to obtain employment.
Provide students choices of Advisement Areas dependent on interests.
Offer a solid background in core courses.
Require an internship for work experience.
Develop in students all of the 11 Competencies identified by Finger Lakes Community
College as learning outcomes of a liberal education.
