Who are we?
The School of Information Technology and Computing (SITC) serves as the focal point for computer-oriented training and education on the Abilene Christian University campus. We are an interrelated collection of faculty and students with backgrounds and interests in computer science, information systems, and information technology that have the common goal of advancing the use of technology and technological understanding to improve the world as we know it today.
Inaugurated in June 2006, the school exists to provide integrated and collaborative instruction in the high-tech arena, promote greater understanding and use of technology across all academic programs of the University, and support the local and regional communities in addressing technological challenges and stimulating economic development.
SITC is currently accepting enrollment in its undergraduate programs in computer science and computer information systems. The school will be fully operational beginning with the Fall 2007 semester, with additional curriculum revisions, new programs in information technology, and a cooperative degree with the College of Business Administration in business intelligence and technology management.
What’s our mission?
Our mission is to provide students with the highest quality education possible in the ever-changing high-tech arena, and to establish within them a foundation of faith from which they can lead and serve in world-changing ways.
What’s our mantra?
Technology! Technology! Technology!
It’s how we live, learn, teach, explore, and do business!
What’s our focus?
ACU is primarily an undergraduate teaching institution, and SITC mirrors that focus. While our entire faculty is engaged in research and discovery at some level, the primary responsibility of each professor is to educate students and endow them with the skills they need to establish a career or pursue additional studies. Excellence in the classroom and individual attention to students are our most important goals, second only to our commitment to live, lead, and serve from a perspective of faith.
