What is Applied Computing Technology (ACT)?
It is a combination of computer science and specialized courses in other disciplines. It focuses on using computers to solve specialized problems in other fields. At this time, we offer 2 concentrations: Computing Technology, and Computing Education. While the Computer Science degree emphasizes professional competency in specialized sub-areas of computing (e.g., writing a computer application from scratch), the Applied Computing Technology program emphasizes the use of programming skills and computer applications and technology (e.g., web development, computer and network system administration) in a variety of computer application areas needed in industry and other organizations. The Computing Education program also has a teacher training concentration to allow graduates to teach computer-related subjects in public schools (K-12) as well as provide local computer technology expertise in the schools. Other specialized concentrations will be added as time goes on. More information about
