Concentration Requirements

  • Students are expected to take all IT core courses (ITCC courses) before declaring a concentration and beginning the 3rd year sequence.
  • In order to be able to declare a concentration and move on to the third year sequence, the student must have taken all the core courses required by the concentration of interest, and have a GPA of 2.0+ in these courses as outlined below:
    • Application Development: completed with a 2.0+ GPA for ITCC100, ITCC222, ITCC230;
    • Database: completed with a 2.0+ GPA for ITCC100, ITCC110, ITCC210;
    • Network Infrastructure: completed with a 2.0+ GPA for ITCC100, ITCC110, ITCC200.
  • Students must complete any leftover ITCC courses by the first half of their 3rd year. Under special circumstances, the Chair may extend this deadline to the end of the third year sequence.
  • Under no circumstances will a student be allowed to begin the 4th year sequence without completing all ITCC courses.
  • Should a student not have a 2.0+ GPA in any of the above concentration core course combinations, then the student will not be allowed to progress and will have the choice of either raising his average in these courses to 2.0 (by repeating D’s and F’s) or changing major, subject to the usual procedure for doing so.
