Computers have become forever woven into our daily lives. There is almost nothing you can do that does not somehow involve the use of a computer. The arts, the sciences, business, health care, the humanities, media, journalism — the list is endless. So becoming a professional in computer technology means you'll have endless opportunities in the working world.
All our full-time faculty are Ph.D.s with recent industry experience, and dedicated to expansion of the science, art, and philosophy of computing.
You have a choice of two specialized undergraduate degrees: Computer Science and Computer Information Technology.
Computer Science offers classic concentration in programming and software design. With a CS degree you can pursue a career as a:
- programmer
- systems analyst
- systems engineer
- R&D designer
- field engineer
- network engineer
Computer Information Technology focuses on computer applications. CIT graduates are finding jobs like these:
- Web developer
- IT support
- database administrator
- technical writer
- network system specialist
- independent entrepreneur
In addition, you can strengthen your non-technical degree with a minor in:
- computer forensics (criminal justice)
- information security (to deal with computer-related threats)
NKU also offers a Master of Science in Computer Science.
An NKU degree in computer technology places you at the cutting edge of computer science and information technology development.
