Courses
In the fall of 2004 IST became IT with 4 different course prefixes:
- ITD for database and web development
- ITP for programming-application development
- ITN for networking
- ITE for IT Essentials
Courses taken using the IST prefix will still appear on transcripts. Students will NOT LOSE CREDIT. The new numbers and prefixes will transfer to four-year universities the same way the old IST prefix/number did. In addition, many new courses have been added to the IT program as well as a new transferable degree, the Associate of Science in Information Technology (ASIT). Students can use the following chart to help with the SPRING, SUMMER or FALL registration. Please see the NOVA Catalog for information on course descriptions and prerequisites or check with the IST counselor or your IST faculty advisor.
