Mission Statement

The Computer Science and Technology Department is dedicated to a curriculum of academic excellence that encourages the development of ethical technology professionals who are a benefit to society. The department serves the entire college community by providing sound instruction in the use of computer technology.

The information technology (IT) major gives students the skills to apply computer and network concepts to solve a wide range of technology problems for individuals, organizations, and businesses. Students will study theory and applications of databases, web design, computer programming, networks, and operating systems. Students will learn to identify and evaluate current and emerging technologies and to assess their applicability to the users’ needs. The liberal arts environment at the University of Jamestown allows students with an aptitude for technology to take courses in areas of individual interest: music, communication, art, psychology, etc.
