The Information Technology (IT) program at EvCC offers several options for students. Certificates prepare students for entry-level positions in networking and computer support-related career fields. Associate degrees point to more complex employment options and can also prepare students for transferring into a bachelor’s degree program. Internships provide actual work experience. Careers in this field value logic, attention to detail, and the skill of communicating effectively.
Networking is a dynamic field and change is constant. Successful technicians must be strongly motivated self-learners. The IT curriculum prepares students with the foundation skills to become successful technicians.

This degree is focused on preparing students for entry-level career positions in networking and computer support. Technical core skills dominate in this degree, and related instruction courses may not transfer. Completion of the degree may require some courses to be taken at neighboring community colleges, where students strengthen their chosen interest emphasis. With proper course selection, it is transferable to Central Washington University’s ITAM program and to The Evergreen State College’s Upside Down Degree Program.
Computer and information systems managers, often called information technology managers (IT managers or IT project managers), plan, coordinate, and direct computer-related activities in an organization. They help determine the information technology goals of an organization and are responsible for implementing the appropriate computer systems to meet those goals.
A bachelor’s degree in computer or information science plus related work experience is typically required. Many computer and information systems managers also have a graduate degree.
