Bachelor of Science in Information Technology


 Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, (abbreviated BScIT or B.Sc IT), is a bachelor's degree awarded for the completion of an undergraduate course or program in information technology.
A Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree program typically lasts three to four years. This degree is primarily focused on subjects such as software, databases, and networking. In general computer science degrees tend to focus on the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing rather than emphasizing specific technologies. The degree is a Bachelor of Science degree with institutions conferring degrees in the fields of information technology and related fields. This degree is awarded for completing a program of study in the field of software development, software testing, software engineering, computer networking, web design, databases, and programming.
Many employers require software developers or programmers to have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree, however those seeking to hire for positions such as network administrators or database managers would require a Bachelors of Science in Information Technology or an equivalent degree.Graduates with an information technology background are able to perform technology tasks relating to the processing, storing, and communication of information between computers, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. Information technology as field emphasizes the secure management of large amounts of variable information and its accessibility via a wide variety of systems both local and world-wide.
Depending on the institution, the a course of study in the same core 


curriculum may result in the conferral of other degrees such as:
Bachelor of Computer Science
Bachelor of Computing in Computer Science
Bachelor of Computer Security in Computer Science
Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Computer Science
Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Computer Science
Bachelor of Mathematics in Computer Science
Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS) in Computer Science
Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS) in Computing
Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS) in Computer Science and Technology
Bachelor of Applied Information Sciences (BAISc)
