Concept redesign — a student project reimagining the Information Sciences & Technologies department site at Rochester Institute of Technology. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the university, not their live site, and every program detail, statistic, and outcome below is invented sample data.

Information Sciences & Technologies

Four degrees in building software that people actually have to use. Start with who you are — the site is organised around that, not around our org chart.

Thinking about applying
Programs, what you'd actually study, and what graduates do next.
Already a student
Advising, course planning, co-op, and who to ask when something goes wrong.
Parent or family
Cost, outcomes, safety, and what the degree leads to.
Faculty or staff
Internal forms, room booking, and committee pages.

Programs

Web & Mobile Computing
BS · 4 years · co-op: 2 blocks

Human-Centered Computing
BS · 4 years · co-op: 2 blocks
BS

Research methods, interaction design, and accessibility as a first-class constraint rather than an audit at the end.

Leads to: UX research, interaction design, accessibility engineering
Computing Security
BS · 4 years · co-op: 2 blocks
BS

Offensive and defensive practice with a heavy lab component.

Leads to: Security analysis, appsec, incident response
Applied Data Analytics
MS · 2 years · co-op: optional
MS
