Online Certificate in Information Technology (IT)

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.

To be successful in the IT workforce, you need to have logical thinking skills and be detail-oriented.  Information technology roles require patience, persistence, and the skill set to handle analytical work- all while working under stressful situations.  Great communication skills will be extremely helpful, especially when working with teammates who are from different backgrounds.
