School of Computer Technology
DEVELOP THE NEEDED SKILLS to support an organization’s technology requirements while building a biblical foundation for life! Christians that are technology savvy can play a vital role for influencing others about Christ through supporting the technology needs of both a business and the local church ministry.
The School of Computer Technology was designed following the principle of Proverbs 8:12, “I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions”. Witty inventions can be self-serving or used for the glorification of God, it all depends on the user of such invention. The two programs offered, Associates of Science in Cybersecurity or Software Development, equip students with employable skills and readiness to sit for applicable industry standard certifications in the computer field or the students are prepared to transfer into a computer related bachelor program.
