The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology/Visual Communication (BSIT/VC) program has three major content areas: business, communication and technology.
The BSIT focuses on the analysis, design, and development of information technology within the context of business systems. This program’s specialization, Visual Communication, concentrates on the design and development of digital media presentations.
The BSIT/VC uses graphic design and technology tools to create visual communications that are relevant to organizations. As a result, the BSIT/VC graduate possesses a diverse portfolio including Web sites, rich media advertising, corporate reports, business presentations, instructional materials, animated movies, and electronic publications that fulfill business and training needs. This portfolio positions the BSIT/VC graduate as someone, with a technology background, who is prepared to have an immediate positive impact in a business or training setting.
