Business and Technology

The Business and Technology Major is open only to students at the Stamford Campus and Tri-Campus (Waterbury, Hartford and Torrington). The program objective of the major in business and technology is to provide a business degree with a special emphasis in the application of information technology. Functional area concentrations (three courses) are also possible in selected areas based on the availability of courses.

Career Opportunities
BSBT contains a solid core of required information technology courses but is not directed at training IT professionals. Rather, the focus is on providing conceptual and core IT knowledge necessary for individuals to be at the cutting edge of their chosen functional areas. In particular, students concentrating in areas such as finance, financial markets, or interactive marketing should be positioned to excel.
