Business Information Technology ManagementAAS (BITM)

Business Information Technology Management (BITM) students enroll in a variety of both applied and theoretical coursework designed to meld the skill set of a business manager with that of an IT professional. The degree will prepare a student for employment as an IT Project Manager, Manager of Office Operations, Technical Support or Customer Service or in a similar position where it would be necessary to have an understanding of how information technology applies to the business aspect of an organization. It will also give the student the management ability to allow the organization to smoothly integrate new technologies and quickly adapt to the changing business environments present in today's technology dependent marketplace.

Although primarily designed for students who seek to gain employment or are presently employed within the business field, it is easily transferable to 4-year schools such as SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Morrisville which offer baccalaureate degrees in IT management.
