Posted By: Kennedy Williams on July 02, 2021

A trusted resource for online degree rankings and higher education planning, Intellegent.com ranked North Carolina A&T as the No. 1 historically Black college or university to earn an online master’s in information technology, housed in the College of Science and Technology (COST).

“The College of Science and Technology is very proud to be home to a top-ranked online degree program that makes graduate STEM education accessible,” said Abdellah Ahmidouch, COST dean. “As our economy is increasingly relying on data, the demand for professionals in network security, database management, data analytics, and cloud computing increases.

“N.C.

“Our well-trained and educated faculty, as well as our online infrastructure, makes it possible for our Information Technology students to continue to be a top online graduate program,” said Clay Gloster Jr., dean of the Graduate College. “Our corporate partnerships also allow our students the opportunities to get hands-on experience while in graduate school which gives our students an edge when entering the job market.”
