Information Technology Degree Overview
Support business operations with technical know-how
Franklin’s transfer-friendly Information Technology degree program curriculum equips you with the mission-critical skills employers are looking for in the areas of network and systems administration, infrastructure management, information security, database administration, and IT project management.
Our faculty employs industry standards such as Project Management Institute’s PMBOK Guide and (ISC)2’s CISSP certification in their teaching, and our program is consistently evaluated by industry experts like Sean Amon, Associate Vice President for Network Engineering at Nationwide Insurance.
Become an IT champion with expert knowledge
Our online IT degree program curriculum will add depth to your existing IT knowledge and experience. You’ll learn how to administer Windows Server, Linux, Oracle 10g, Firewalls, Cisco switches and routers, IP addressing, WAN, and Wireless LAN. You’ll be introduced to programming languages like Perl, Shell, and PowerShell. You’ll also be prepared to build, connect, and manage the systems and devices of major computing platforms.
And, just as important, Franklin will equip you to effectively communicate your work to business leadership, stakeholders, end users and others, preparing you to be an IT champion for everything from daily operational activities to new technologies.

Franklin accepts many industry certifications in lieu of select coursework for transfer credit, including Network+ and CCNA for networking, PMI for project management, CISSP and Security+ for security, RHCA/RHCE for Linux, and MSCA/MCSE for Windows.
