The Data Systems and Development program equips students for a wide range of opportunities as computer programmers and software designers. Areas include mobile application development, systems and database programming, and web development. We offer coursework in Python, C/C++, Java, JavaScript and SQL. Students learn under the MS Windows and Linux platforms.
Students begin their training with foundational language courses and then may choose from a wide variety of advanced, industry-specific courses to customize their degree. Students may also choose to select from a number of smaller degree certificates embedded within the software development program. This program transfers to
EIU, UIS, and SIU under 2+2 agreements.
We offer a wonderful internship opportunity with local businesses as soon as students enter the program. Upon graduation the student will have a degree AND years of workforce experience!
