"description": "An information technology degree from UCF prepares you to drive efficiency and productivity throughout businesses — providing them with better service and value. You'll gain an understanding about maintaining computer equipment and software, as well as the skills to help improve business processes and innovative ways to use information resources to serve customers. Courses cover how to create, manage and support information in a variety of forms, arming you with the skills necessary in today's technically-focused workplace.\r\n\r\nTake what you learn in the classroom and apply it to real-world experiences through internships at leading tech companies, from Central Florida Research Park to downtown Orlando. This hands-on work is a great way to build your technical skills and demonstrate your communication, teamwork and leadership abilities.\r\n\r\nInformation technology graduates are employed nearly everywhere, at companies of all sizes — from large companies such as L3Harris Technologies, Siemens and HD Supply, to smaller companies. They also work in government agencies, academic institutions and more. Throughout your career, there will be a number of opportunities for lifelong learning, including training and development, and involvement in professional organizations to build strong connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Related Programs:</strong>\r\n\r\n<ul><li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/computer-engineering-bscpe/\">Computer Engineering</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/computer-science-bs/\">Computer Science</a></li></ul>",

To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree. An excluded student who meets these criteria is not guaranteed readmission to a CECS or COP major.
