1. Web and Mobile Applications Development
2. Networking and Security
The curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology since its introduction to educational need has undergone a series of revision from licensed agencies. It has been developed and refined to fit the need of the program through different medium to be in parallel to other programs.
In response to the ongoing educational reforms that include the enhanced basic education curriculum through K to 12 which in its consideration of the College Readiness Standards (CEB Resolution No. 298-2011) has integrated GE courses of higher education programs in the senior high school core courses that resulted to the revision of the current GE curriculum (CHED Memorandum No. 59, Series of 1996). And since the new revised GE curriculum as stipulated in CMO No. 20, Series of 2013 “General Education Curriculum: Holistic Understandings, Intellectual and Civic Competencies,” needs to be implemented to the first batch of K-12 graduates this First Semester, School Year 2018-2019, thus, there is a need again to revise the BSIT curriculum.
The CMO No. 25, Series of 2015, CMO No. 34, Series of 2012 “Addendum to CMO No. 53, Series of 2006, Revised Policies, Standards and Guidelines for Information Technology Education (ITE) Programs Prescribing Specialization Track on Service Management for Business Process Outsourcing,” CMO No. 12, Series of 2013 “Addendum to CMO No. 53, Series of 2006, Policies, Standards and Guidelines for Information Technology Education (ITE) Programs Prescribing Specialization Track on Business Analytics,” CMO No. 20, Series of 2013 and CMO 57, Series of 2017 “Policy on the Offering of Filipino Subjects in all Higher Education Programs as Part of the New General Education Curriculum per CHED Memorandum Order No. 20, Series of 2013″ were used in revising the BSIT curriculum with two (2) specialization track –Networking and Security and Web and Mobile Applications Development.
