The two-year AAS in Information Systems and Technology is designed to help students develop job-ready computer skills to meet today's industry needs. Students complete a foundational core in programming, database, web application design, data communication, and networking. After that, students select a specialization in either Information Systems or Information Technology to complete a focused set of courses to obtain more in-depth knowledge and skills for a variety of computer-related jobs. If planned carefully with an advisor, this program provides a smooth, stackable pathway to the B.S. in Information Systems degree or the B.S. in Information Technology degree at UVU.
