If you are asking if you can have a BS and an IT degree then the answer is yes. It is referred to as B.S.I.T or Bachelor of Science Information Technology. 120 credit hours is usually the minimum requirement to be awarded this degree. Many people get a specialized A.A.S degree (63 credit hours) and then transfer into this major. This helps them align themselves for the area of IT they wish to work in after graduation.

Most state universities and a multitude of private 4-year colleges offer this degree; it has become very popular within the last five years because it offers exposure to many facets of IT.

I'm working on one myself!

Except most uni's do not accept credits from community colleges, and specially not major related credits. But occasionally you will find a state school that allows both, but that is not saying much about it

I don't know of a university that does not accept community college credits. Where did you get this information?

I am in a computer science 4 year program with 128 credits. At my school there is also a specialization in Information Assurance so I will definately do that!

Agreed, not sure where you're getting some of your information. The University of Tennessee accepts direct 2+2 transfers from most of the 2-year associate degree grads for many of their majors. The University of Wisconsin has direct credit transfers with all of the 2-year technical schools. Even MSOE, yes the MSOE takes 2+2 transfers. University of Iowa takes transfers...I could keep going for quite a while here.

I did a 2+2 program from Lorain County Community College to Kent State University. There was no problem transferring my credits.
