What will I learn?

The world of computer science and information technology is changing rapidly. The need for professionals with advanced skills to implement new technology, manage information systems and ensure infrastructure, systems and data are protected grows every year. Although some entry-level computer science and information technology careers don’t require a master’s degree, CS and IT professionals who pursue a graduate degree in the field earn more than their counterparts without master’s degrees. The annual expected earnings for skilled professionals working in IT and computer science are high. Computer science and information technology courses at Sacred Heart offer you the latest in computer systems, classrooms, laboratories, and multimedia equipment, as well as the opportunity to apply for an internship with one of Sacred Heart University's many corporate connections. Student internships have included jobs ranging from Software Development and Network Security, to Instructional Technology. An internship can give you hands-on experience that employers require and a hiring advantage upon graduation.
