    For students majoring in other academic disciplines, the flexible design of the information technology (IT) minor can complement any student’s major field of study. The array of courses in specialized IT knowledge areas help students develop and expand their IT concepts, gain a broader perspective on the impact of IT on society, and increase or enhance IT proficiency skills. Students with an IT minor are often the technical “go-to person” in their respective careers.
