Schedule

Both the on-campus and online Bachelor of Information Technology feature the same courses, and your academic counselor will help you schedule them. Please note that on-campus students are required to physically attend class one day a week, typically from 6-10 pm, and additionally you will complete assignments and meet with your learning teams outside of class.

Depending on your location, this program may be offered as Blended. This means you’ll start at a local campus* to complete your general education courses, and then transition to online learning for your core program courses. 

*During COVID-19, while our campuses are temporarily closed, your local campus classes will be held virtually so you can get face-to-face learning at home.
