In recent years, the use of technology has impacted our lives more than ever. Today, the effective use of computer technology is critical to the success of many businesses and organizations.

The Associate of Applied Business (A.A.B) degree in Computer Science Technology at Ohio University Southern prepares students for entry level IT (Information Technology) positions.
The curriculum offers hands-on learning, enabling students to develop critical skills in areas such as IT technical support, network administration, web site development, database administration, software development, and testing.

Ohio University Southern also offers a certificate in IT and a certificate in computer networking for working professionals and non-computer majors who want to develop skills in programming, networking, databases and website management, but do not want to pursue an associate degree in Computer Science Technology.
