Majors Week is here! From Monday, October 20th, through Friday, October 24th, UMass Amherst is rolling out the red carpet to help you explore every academic program the campus has to offer. Whether you’re an exploratory student searching for your perfect fit or a declared major looking to enhance your skills with a minor, this is your chance to get answers directly from the experts.
At its core, Majors Week is about connecting you with the key information and people to chart your academic path. And the Information Technology (IT) Program is excited to be a central part of the conversation!
Why Choose IT?
The modern world runs on technology, and a degree, minor, or certificate in Information Technology is your key to unlocking endless career possibilities. Our program provides practical, hands-on skills in areas like networking, cybersecurity, data management, and web development—skills that are in high demand across every industry.
If you're interested in technology but don't want to major in Computer Science, the IT Program offers a flexible, career-focused alternative that prepares you to be the essential link between technical teams and business operations.
