Information Technology is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world today. It is essential in all industries, not just high-tech. As the business world has become increasingly dependent on computers, the demand for IT professionals has grown so rapidly that it now far exceeds the number of university graduates who have the necessary education and skills. The AIU Information Technology program was created in response to that need. The team-based program is one of the few in North America solely dedicated to providing graduates with the industry-current IT skills required in today’s competitive market. Our dynamic, flexible curriculum is based on market demand, and designed to keep pace with changing technologies.
