This
program can be taken entirely online or as a mix
of online and on-campus classes.
The need for
professionals with a strong information technology background will
continue to increase as business, government, schools, and other
organizations seek new applications for computers and networks in the
workplace.
In response to that
need, the University of Massachusetts Lowell offers online learners the
opportunity to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology entirely
online or as a mix of online and on-campus courses.
The following course outline is only a
suggested course load. Please note that UMass Lowell's online courses are offered during three semesters
per year: Fall, Spring and Summer. Based on student experiences, we do not recommend
registering for more than 3 online courses per semester.
