The BIT degree at Kenyatta University is an intensive program offering the state of the art knowledge and skills required to excel in the ever changing field of information technology. The program ensures an understanding of business organization computer applications through the course modules of computer science, software engineering, databases, networking, theory and programming. The program also enhances students’ communication, research, cognitive, managerial and interpersonal skills. SIT is a course that brings together two key aspects of computer training, that is, the link between Computer Science and the business environment.
While the degree has a major focus on computers and technology, it differs from a Computer Science degree in that students are also expected to study management and information theory. Therefore, while a degree in computer science can be expected to concentrate on the scientific aspects of computing, a degree in information technology can be expected to concentrate on the business and communication applications of computing.
