Information Systems Technology
Computer information technology is an integral part of nearly every business and organization.
As a result, today’s computer professional must possess not only fundamental computing
skills but also broader-based skills in planning, working in teams and business operations.
The Information Systems Technology Department’s core curriculum provides graduates
with a foundation in computer programming logic, operating systems, systems analysis,
application development, defensive and offensive cyber strategies, networking, and
user support. Additional general education and business-related courses give students
a well-rounded experience. In addition, students will need– such skills as information
management, financial analysis, teamwork, communications skills, and customer service.
Many of these courses are available in a distance learning/Web-based format.
Students may choose to specialize in a particular plan of study such as Cybersecurity,
Game Development, Management Information Systems, Network Administrator, Software
Developer, User Support, or Web Developer. Information Systems Technology offers several
industry and subject-specific certificates in networking, hardware/software, cloud,
and cybersecurity. Web Developer majors may transfer and complete a baccalaureate
degree in Technical Education and Training at The Ohio State University. Many 2+2
transfer agreements exist between Columbus State and partner institutions by Career
& Academic Pathway, creating options for completing baccalaureate degrees.
