All businesses rely on information systems and technology to be successful and efficient. This growing field requires specialists who can help organizations keep up with the continually changing digital landscape, and that’s what South University delivers.
Our Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree provides a strong foundation in computer programming, database design, network design, information security and the use of information technology to address business needs.
