Overview

SCC's Computer Information Technology program offers hands-on training that leads students directly to employment in an IT career. The flexible CIT program allows students to attend either full-time or part-time while taking day, evening, and online courses. Students attending full-time can complete the degree in two years. The program welcomes part-time students who choose to carry a lighter load and take longer to complete the degree.

An associate degree from SCC provides training in four focus areas: Applications Development, Cybersecurity, Network Management, and Computer Support. All students start into the program with the same group of courses. While completing those courses, students can make a decision about which focus to pursue.

The Applications Development focus trains students to design and code software applications on different computer platforms (PC, web, mainframe, and mobile). Courses train students to code Java and C# applications for PCs, develop basic iOS and Android apps for mobile devices, and work behind the scenes developing web sites using JavaScript, PHP, ASP, JSP, and SQL. Students also learn to use COBOL and DB2 in a mainframe programming environment.

Cybersecurity students complete hands-on training to meet the growing need for security professionals in IT. Students learn security practices, cyber defense techniques, and digital forensics related to the protection of today's networks and critical information systems.

In the Network Management focus, students set up, maintain, and manage computer networks in both a Windows and Linux environment. They learn to use PowerShell, set up virtual machines, and work with Cisco networking.

Computer Support students are trained to work as the main computer technician in a company or as a member of a team providing help desk support. Students gain hands-on training in the setup, maintenance, troubleshooting, and support of computer hardware and software.
