Computer Information Technology

Department of Computer Science Computer Information Technology (CIT) Degrees: BA, BS Our Computer Information Technology (CIT) program is based in a building with modern labs. The entire building has wireless Internet access while labs and offices also have wired broadband access. Small classes, premium hardware, current software and top instructors ensure you master computer information technology inside and out. Our CIT major offers two concentrations as follows: Business Information Systems Available as a concentration in CIT Careers: Positions in project management, real-time control, systems administration, sales, technical support, personnel and staff training Note: Most graduates have jobs within months of graduation. Students complete numerous courses offered in the Reeves School of Business and Economics. Contact: Dr. Tat Chan, ph. 910-630-7286, e-mail tchan@methodist.edu In this CIT concentration, applications are given more emphasis than formal properties. Students acquire a systematic body of knowledge with respect to business problems and their solutions. The focus is on business information systems, network administration, service support, system administration and Web-based systems. Although the introductory sequence in the curriculum is programming, CIT involves much more. It thoroughly prepares you for work in the business arena. Interactive Multimedia Application Development Available as a concentration in CIT Careers: Web site designer, software developer, computer game programmer, user-interface developer, and advertising developer Contact: Dr. Tat Chan, ph. 910-630-7286, e-mail tchan@methodist.edu Opportunities to develop interactive, multimedia applications increase as computers become more prevalent in our daily life and we interact with them more. This concentration prepares students to produce computer applications containing interactive multimedia components. Graduates are prepared to work with or produce graphical user interfaces, Web-based applications, computerbased training programs, kiosks, computer graphics and computer games. Computer Science Degrees: AS, BA, BS Careers: Software developer, gaming, application programmer, real-time control, systems administrator, sales, technical support, personnel and staff training, graduate studies, computer scientist Note: Most of our students have jobs within months of graduation. Contact: Dr. Tat Chan, ph. 910-630-7286, e-mail tchan@methodist.edu Computer science is the systematic study of computers and the phenomena of computing. Formal properties are given more emphasis than realizations or applications. A major objective is the formulation of a systematic body of knowledge to explain those properties. One of the most important concepts of computer science is the management of complexity. Students must understand how abstraction is used to control complexity. As a method of reasoning, computer science bears a strong similarity to mathematics and depends heavily upon mathematics. Although the introductory sequence in the curriculum is programming, computer science involves much more than programming. All major operating systems and hardware systems are studied. Lab work includes exploration of business applications, multimedia applications, microprocessor interfacing, computer networking, Web site administration, hardware and software design of small special computer systems and more. Personal attention and plenty of lab work ensure understanding of the multifaceted subjects. Our computer science program is based in the same building as the computer information technology program. The entire building features wireless Internet access; labs and offices have wired broadband access. 52 Find Find out more about MU. Go to www.methodist.edu Go to www.methodist.edu
