Since the use of computers has become increasingly commonplace, the need for personnel to help government and industry utilize this tool more effectively continues to grow.  This major prepares students for some of the occupations which rely on a firm knowledge of computer systems including information center specialist, liaison with user departments, and office automation analyst.  This program is designed to transfer to a Bachelor of Arts Degree at UMBC where various upper level courses would then be taken.
(General education core credits in excess of 36 will transfer as general electives or courses related to the major. Each student’s total of general education and required courses must equal at least 60 semester hours of credit.)
