Students at UMass can pursue a major discipline of their choice and complement that study with the IT Minor.
The curriculum includes courses on technologies and technical capabilities along with courses that focus on the application of IT in particular disciplines. Some courses turn the lens around and apply knowledge gained from diverse departments across campus-such as Law, Art, and Economics, toward IT so that students can better understand and manage information in society and in their lives.
