The minor requires a minimum of 15 credits, including 9 credits of core courses. Beyond these requirements, the student is free to define a technical focus area, for example, information security. Focus areas are composed of at least two courses (6 credits). Students pursuing the IT minor should obtain a list of approved electives from the Applied Information Technology Department.
