A 2-year IT program, a lifetime of career opportunities
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, an information technology associate degree is one of the top ten 2-year degrees. Graduates look forward to high salary levels and excellent job options. At Utah Career College, we pay attention to the job market and provide students with practical training that prepares them to take advantage of those opportunities.
Computers, database design, systems – supported by “soft skills”
Employers and IT professionals, members of our IT Program Advisory Committee (PAC), oversee the Associate in Information Technology degree program at Utah Career College. PAC members evaluated skill sets that are most valued in information technology workers, and designed our program to provide that training.
In addition to courses in database design, systems analysis and other technical areas, they determined that an information technology professional requires highly developed analytical and interpersonal skills and communication skills. Computer support specialists and database designers alike serve as interfaces between technology and users. They are often called on to evaluate and convey complex information in simple terms. Our 2-year associate in IT degree program addresses the need for both technical and “soft” skills.
