Overview

Bachelor of Information Technology - Information Resource Management

The world of information technology is always evolving. What is now commonplace was once a breakthrough. 

As a student in one of the Bachelor of Information Technology programs, you will acquire the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to address the IT issues of today and the possibilities of tomorrow.

The Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) offers four distinct programs: 

Information Resource Management (IRM), Interactive Multimedia and Design (IMD), Network Technology (NET) and Optical Systems and Sensors (OSS). These programs are offered jointly by Carleton’s School of Information Technology and Algonquin College’s schools of Health and Community Studies (for IRM), Media and Design (for IMD), and Advanced Technology (for NET and OSS). 

The four-year IRM program enables students to graduate with both a Bachelor of Information Technology degree from Carleton University and a Library and Information Technician diploma from Algonquin College. 

In four years, graduates obtain what would otherwise take 6 years to complete. 

The program provides students with a broad understanding of information management and specific capabilities in managing digital resources as these affect research data, websites, and social media. 

Such skills are especially important now that the library and information technology field has moved beyond the traditional library setting to encompass many occupations in both the private- and public sectors.
