Degree program

-

University of Cincinnati Clermont students who graduate with an associate degree in informatio­n technology now has a direct pathway to the informatio­n technology bachelor’s degree program at Miami University Regionals.

Officials at the two universiti­es recently signed an agreement that will align the two programs and give UC Clermont students more certainty about which credits will transfer to Miami’s Bachelor of Science in Informatio­n Technology program.

In addition to time, it can save money. When a student follows the course plan outlined in the agreement and supported by both institutio­ns, they enroll in and pay for only the courses that are needed for both degrees.

It doesn’t matter at what point a student decides to complete their bachelor’s degree in informatio­n technology with Miami Regionals because the entire plan is laid out for them so they know the endpoint from their first course at UC Clermont.

Following the mapped out plan students will transfer 63 credit hours and complete 61 additional credits at Miami Regionals to complete their bachelor’s degree. These credits include completing a year-long capstone

project.

Miami Regionals’ Bachelor of Science degree in Informatio­n Technology offers a major in informatio­n technology and health informatio­n technology (HIT). The IT major prepares students to support the computing infrastruc­tures and needs of individual­s and organizati­ons across a variety of domains. While the HIT major addresses the technology and processes used by healthcare providers and related organizati­ons. CONTRIBUTE­D
