BSIT Degree (Sponsored by: CSUCI Division of Extended Education)
This Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree program is specifically designed to provide an avenue of advancement for students with associates degrees in a technology discipline such as networking (e.g.: The Associate in Science Degree in Computer Networking at Oxnard College or Computer Network Systems Engineering at Moorpark College). This new program gives the student the opportunity to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology. The course work will provide a foundation in mathematics, programming, networking, databases, web, computer architecture and information systems. The BSIT sits between a BS in Computer Science and a BS in Management Information Systems, emphasizing the fastest growing segments of the both: Web Systems, Databases, and Networks. For a foundation, the BSIT program draws from two camps: mathematics, science, and computer programming from Computer Science, and business organization and project management from Management Information Systems. From there it adds depth in Web Programming and Technology, Database Theory and Design, and Data Communications and Networking, while allowing for further depth in these or related areas such as e-Commerce, Computer Security, and Multimedia. Students entering this program are expected to have already attained an associates degree in a technology area (or the equivalent), with at least 30 units that are "GE certified" for the CSU system, including courses in: Statistics, First Course in a Laboratory science (Physics, Chemistry, or Biology), First course in a programming language such as C, Java (preferred), or C++, Computer Architecture and Assembly Language.
