The College of Information Science and Technology is also known as "The School at Drexel." This identity highlights the College’s participation in The School Consortium, and its status as a founding member of the organization. The School Consortium is a national alliance of library, information science and information system schools, the purpose of which is to raise awareness and understanding of the information sciences as a cutting-edge and progressive field of study.
The Bachelor of Science Degree Information Technology (B.S.I.T.) is offered by Drexel’s College of Information Science and Technology as both a five-year and a four-year co-op program. In addition to the core coursework in information systems, the major includes 15 credits towards a minor in business. Only 9 additional credits would be required to complete a minor in business.
Students graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree Information Technology (B.S.I.T.) will:
-Understand and be able to apply core information technologies.
-Approach the application of information technology from a user-centered perspective aimed at meeting the needs of users and organizations in a societal and global context.
-Apply sound methods and approaches to identify and analyze IT problems and design, implement, and evaluate effective and usable IT solutions.
-Display personal and interpersonal IT career skills, including the ability to work on a team, to communicate with technical and nontechnical people, and to pursue lifelong learning.
The B.S.I.T. integrates closely with Drexel's bachelor of science in information systems (B.S.I.S.), and each enriches the other. The two degrees share a common freshman year and the same set of major courses, but they have different requirements. The difference is in the nature of specialization in upper-level courses. The B.S.I.T. is aimed at students who want a degree focused on applied information technology but with an emphasis on IT infrastructure rather than applications in business.
The structure of the freshman year allows students to embark on IT or IS without having to choose between them until later.
