The tech website, ZD Net, has ranked Volunteer State Community College number one in the nation for online computer information technology (CIT) associate degree education. “An associate degree in information technology is ideal for individuals interested in entering the workforce or transferring to a four-year program,” ZD Net said in the January 31 article.
Vol State's computer information technology degree offers three possible concentrations: cyber defense, networking, and programming. Each program includes five core computer courses and eleven concentration-specific classes. All Vol State CIT and Computer Science courses are available online. This provides students with flexibility when scheduling classes. Some classes also offer students the ability to earn industry certifications, which are important to employers. Vol State also offers CIT classes in-person at Vol State campuses in Gallatin, Springfield, and Livingston.
“Our programs prepare students for great jobs with good pay,” said Business and Technology Dean, Andy White. “Our faculty take great pride in teach them well in every format, on our campuses around the region and online. That way, students with work or family responsibilities can still work their way into this exciting field.”
