BSc (Hons) in Information Technology

At The American College of Greece (Deree), our Bachelor in Information Technology program dives deep into hands-on learning, blending solid IT fundamentals like programming, software engineering, networks, cybersecurity, and AI with real-world application through state-of-the-art facilities. You'll build practical skills in problem-solving, data manipulation, user experience design, and developing IT products for actual scenarios—all supported by cutting-edge labs, tools, and resources that let you experiment, create, and innovate right on our Aghia Paraskevi campus. From classroom labs packed with the latest PCs and Macs to technology-enhanced spaces for multimedia projects, everything is designed to give you the edge employers crave.

Here's how our facilities and experiential opportunities make your IT education come alive::
- Classroom Labs in the DEREE Communications Building (e.g., Rooms 1101-1104 with 20 PCs each, Room 1113 with 10 Macs), equipped for teaching, IT skills training, and equipped with printers, video projectors, and booking via IRM Office—perfect for hands-on programming and software development practice.
- Technology-Enhanced Classrooms across campus with ceiling-mounted projectors, teaching stations, LCD monitors, VCR/DVD/Blu-ray players, sound systems, high-speed network access, and wireless connectivity to support lectures, student presentations, and multimedia/web-enabled projects.
- Media Centers for digitizing/editing audio, video, and images; borrow digital cameras, camcorders, audio recorders, laptops, projectors; multimedia stations for editing and presentations; plus workshops on hardware/software—ideal for digital media tech and UX design courses.
- Professional Software Access via Microsoft campus agreement (over 100 Developer Tools) for coding on personal machines, plus ACGBoard (Blackboard-based LMS), Jenzabar ERP, and lifetime college email—key for software engineering, AI integration, and big data projects.
- Specialty Labs, Smart Rooms, and Training Labs available during classes or free time, all backed by IRM Helpdesk and Media Center training for maximum use in real-world IT scenarios like networks, cybersecurity, and intelligent systems.

These resources ensure you're not just learning theory—you're creating portfolios that stand out. Ready to apply and turn your passion for IT into a career? Let's chat about next steps!

# Why The Information Technology Major at ACG Prepares You for Real-World Success

Our Information Technology program goes far beyond lectures and textbooks. You'll develop practical skills through hands-on experience in state-of-the-art facilities designed specifically for tech innovation. From day one, you're learning by doing—working with professional-grade tools and equipment that mirror what you'll encounter in actual IT careers. This isn't theory in isolation; it's theory applied immediately in real environments where you can experiment, fail safely, and build confidence alongside your technical knowledge.

Here's what makes learning at ACG genuinely different:

- Specialized computer labs with cutting-edge equipment: Multiple classroom labs in the Communications Building equipped with the latest PC technology (Rooms 1101-1104 feature 20 PCs each; Room 1113 has 10 MACs with color printing capabilities), giving you dedicated spaces to apply programming, software development, and systems concepts immediately after learning them
- Open-access computer facilities: The Center for the Arts Computer Lab and additional labs across campus are available during your free time, so you can work on projects whenever inspiration strikes
- Professional Microsoft Developer Tools access: Through ACG's campus agreement, you get access to more than 100 Microsoft Developer Tools on your personal machines, giving you professional-grade software at no additional cost
- Technology-enhanced smart classrooms: Every classroom features ceiling-mounted projection systems, multimedia capabilities, and high-speed network connectivity (some with wireless access) to support interactive learning, group presentations, and collaborative problem-solving
- Media Center with production equipment: Borrow digital cameras, camcorders, audio recorders, and access multimedia editing stations for building portfolios and creating media-rich projects
- ACGBoard course management system: Built on Blackboard CMS, this platform supports your coursework with digital resources and organized collaboration tools
- Curriculum focused on real-world specializations: Choose your concentration in Software Development (designing and deploying systems across web, mobile, and cloud environments), Intelligent Systems and Automation (applied AI for practical problems), or User Experience (designing human-computer interactions)
- Research and innovation exposure: Throughout the program, you're exposed to emergent technologies and learn to conduct relevant research, preparing you for both industry and advanced study
- Dedicated IT support: The IRM Helpdesk provides direct assistance with technology needs, and drop-in help is available at multiple campus locations during extended hours

The program intentionally weaves theory with hands-on practice, so you're building a portfolio of real skills—not just collecting credentials.
