What is Information Technology?

Information Technology (IT) includes the computer technology a company or organization uses, and how it is used.  According to workforce.com, “Information technology is the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems—particularly software applications and computer hardware.”  The University of Cincinnati Online’s IT Certificate students learn the fundamentals of IT, programming, database design and systems administration.
