The Information Techonology programs provide students with an experience that will directly prepare then for employment. This is achieved through core courses that are combined with specialized courses in a concentration of the students choosing. A capstone experience including an internship at an area business helps to anchor the student's academic experience. The core is designed so that students can easily move from one Information Technology degree to another if their interest or focus changes.

The Networking program is intended for students who, upon graduating from ACC wish to enter the workforce as networking assistants. However, transfer options to a four-year college are possible. The curriculum is designed to provide the student with a solid basis in the hardware, cabling and the fundamentals necessary to install and maintain a computer network from desktop to ISP. The curriculum is coordinated through the CISCO Networking Academy (on-campus) to assist the student in preparing to achieve the CISCO Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) industry certification. This certification is received upon passing the CCNA exam (off-campus). Recommended High School Preparation: if available: computer hardware class, basic networking/LAN class.
