Overview

Rensselaer has launched a new degree program in Information

Technology (IT), leading to a Bachelor of Science in Information

Technology. The program is designed for technically focused students and

those having substantial technical aptitude but other interests. It

synthesizes computing, systems, and humanities and extends a student's

horizons from the focused core of IT to the disciplinary knowledge of an

application domain (a student-chosen second discipline). The program

also promotes the integration of traditional education with the spirit of

entrepreneurship that characterizes IT; Its objective is to prepare students

not only to enter a rewarding career in IT but also to pursue a

distinguished graduate education in a disciplinary field, upon graduation.

The program consists of 128 credit hours, of which 56 credit hours

constitute an IT Core, 32 credit hours constitute a second discipline, and

the remaining credit hours fulfill Rensselaer degree requirements. The IT

Core requirements establish a solid foundation for the application of IT to

any discipline. The Rensselaer requirements ensure the breadth of the

degree and that it is consistent with the long established tradition of a

Rensselaer degree. The required second discipline provides an opportunity

for in depth study of an IT application area Available second disciplines

are listed at the end of this document. With. faculty advisement, students

may also select their own courses to fulfill second discipline requirements

and explore their own interests.
