Information Technology Management - Houghton College

Information Technology Management from Houghton College is a Campus Bachelor Computer Information Systems degree that prepares you for a IT career. Information and the technology that puts it within reach are strategically significant resources in today's organization. When they are properly managed they can provide the organization with a distinct competitive advantage. Recognizing both the value of these resources and the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed by the entry-level manager in this field, our program in information technology management (ITM) is designed to prepare graduates to meet this need. Accordingly, the principal objective of the IT Management program is two-fold: to develop the skill set necessary to analyze, design, and evaluate an organization's information technology systems, and to familiarize students with the leadership skills necessary to leverage the full potential of information technology and services in support of the organization's mission. To this end, courses in the program present technical, economic, and behavioral dimensions of technology-based information systems whose purpose is to support a firm's information and decision infrastructure. Throughout the program there is a great emphasis placed on "hands on" project-related work using a variety of application development tools. A significant difference the ITM program offers compared to most majors is that it is interdisciplinary in nature. It has been carefully crafted from existing courses in two departments, the Department of Business & Economics and the Department of Math and Computer Science. The curriculum for this program is the result of the work of a broadly based team of faculty in both departments and a consulting group of six professionals in the field.
