The purpose of the Applied Information Technology minor is to provide opportunities to students from all disciplines to supplement their majors with a practical set of courses focused on information technology. The minor provides students with basic knowledge and skills in internet and web technology, and explores application of these skills in courses selected from a wide variety of disciplines. Specifically, students with this minor in Applied Information Technology will gain the technological proficiencies in computing applications, database management systems, web design, presentation software, media design, and use of information retrieval tools to gain access to resources on the electronic networks.
The minor in Applied Information Technology will be available to all South Dakota State University undergraduate students. As such, the objectives of the minor are twofold. First, it exposes students to current technologies that will enhance their effective use of computer hardware and software.
