Undergraduate Certificate: Program in Technology and Society, Information Technology Track
CITP will be implementing a new minor program for undergraduates. More information about the program will be available in spring 2025 and will be found here when available.

Information technology (IT) broadly covers the computation and communication technologies that permeate virtually all aspects of corporate and social activity. The products and services enabled by it have had a major impact on the world economy and on social interactions. As we look to the future, emerging technologies in IT continue to address critical societal challenges such as economic development, health care, politics, education, productivity, government and social organization. At the same time, these technologies raise new challenges in security, law enforcement, privacy, economic stability and justice.
