In many ways, technology can be considered the backbone of most organizations. The Informatics program is structured to prepare graduates who will recognize the technology needs and opportunities in varied domains, and design suitable software, computer system and information technology solutions. The program is an applied area of computing. An Informatics student is required to declare a minor in another field, such as one of the sciences, behavioral science, or business.
Informatics will provide education, resources, an environment and support for students to develop strong computing skills that will be used effectvely to help improve the work and lives of others. Students and faculty will grow together to reach their God-given potential for service to society and the church.
A degree in Informatics prepares students for employment in developing and maintaining software applications and for graduate studies in applied computing such as software engineering.
