Our graduates have achieved remarkable success as entrepreneurs, key contributors in startups, and corporate leaders. Our alumni can be found in virtually every major tech company and throughout fields as diverse as finance, insurance, and defense. Student learning is supported through the Programming Assistance Center for introductory classes and through peer support for advanced courses. The department provides opportunities for students to augment their studies by engaging in research through projects and independent studies. Students have access to the UNH Interoperability Lab, where they have opportunities to work alongside top tech companies, and the UNH ECenter, where they can receive assistance with entrepreneurial ventures. Many of UNH’s student organizations, such as the Cybersecurity Club, are a natural fit for our students.
The information technology (IT) minor is a way for students in non-technical majors to bridge the gap between a primarily non-technical education and a technical world. Graduates from a variety of fields are discovering that there is a great need to have computer competency in addition to the knowledge they gain in their major; the IT minor, which is tailored to grow students' understanding of computer and information technology applications, helps prepare students for the future.
