Bachelor of Arts Degree in Information Sciences and Technology

The Bachelor of Arts in Information Sciences and Technology provides new avenues of study to students who are inherently independent and creative. This degree is suitable for students who:
  • Wish to be entrepreneurs
  • Seek to go on to law or medical school
  • Want to acquire an advanced degree in another field
Successful students in this program will attain:
  • A thorough grounding in information sciences and technology
  • The ability to apply IT creatively, in "non-traditional" areas such as the arts and humanities
  • The breadth of experience needed to accomplish their goals
The B.A. in IST is highly interdisciplinary and the core of the B.A. program parallels that of the B.S. degree, so the B.A. student will be equipped with the same core expertise and skill set to navigate through the increasingly complex technology landscape.
