About Information Technology at Kirtland
Rick P.
Information Technology Student
One thing that attracted me to this program is that I can get any IT job that I want. The reason that I like the program Kirtland has put together for Information Technology is because it’s broad spectrum. It deals with networks, it deals with customer service, it touches on cyber security, it touches on the inside of the server room, the outside of the server room and cloud-based technology. It touches on almost every aspect. It even touches on programming. You can take the Information Technology program as a springboard to anywhere else you want to go.
