Within the context of the aims of a BYU education our mission in the Information Technology program is to educate professional leaders with an in-depth understanding of computer systems and their relationship to the world. These professionals will combine their technical understanding with their broad based general education to visualize systems, communicate effectively, think analytically and implement solutions.

The Information Technology program at Brigham Young University is the technology associated with interacting  and interfacing with systems of services or applications using computing resources. IT professionals from this discipline are competent to design computing systems with due consideration of the performance and compatibility aspects of hardware, software and digital communications. Professionals in this discipline are also proficient in understanding user needs and communicating technical issues to the organizations and people affected by the computer system. They are user's advocates. They are competent to visualize, structure and implement complex technical solutions. These professionals are "anxiously engaged" in lifelong learning in order to understand and wisely use new technologies as they become available.
