Admissions Requirements: Associate of Applied Science in Information Technology

Framed around IT industry certifications, the Associate of Applied Science in Information Technology, prepares students for successful careers in information technology. The program is governed by an academy partnership that provides for curriculum, textbooks, learning objectives and course objectives. While earning an IT industry certification is not a requirement of the program, students will be actively encouraged to do so. It is expected that students will complete at least one major IT certification, many of which require passing several industry administered exams at about the same time they graduate from the program. Courses are scheduled to permit students to sit for certification exams at the end of each semester. Throughout, the program offers an unusual and exciting mix of theory and application. Although traditional academic work dominates, about 40% of the curriculum is devoted to hands-on activities. The Associate of Applied Science degree in Information Technology program consists of 60 semester hours, 1200 contact hours, and is 63 weeks in length for the day, evening, and/or online. In addition to the general admission requirements (see General Requirements), a minimum score of 15 must be achieved on the admission’s assessment Wonderlic Scholastic Level Exam published by Wonderlic Personnel Test, Inc., for entrance into the Medical Assistant or Information Technology, Cisco and/or Microsoft programs. An applicant who has earned at least nine college credit hours with a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA on an official transcript from an accredited college or university, or who has earned a degree, may be exempt from the Wonderlic entrance requirement. If an applicant does not initially pass the assessment exam, a second assessment may be taken on the same day. The assessment process for admission to Hallmark University may be completed once per start date and a maximum of three times in a one-year period. To be approved for Distance Learning, Information Technology, Cisco and/or Microsoft program applicants must demonstrate I.T. experience through at least one of the following:

• 9 hours of Information Technology coursework completed within the last five years with a 2.5 GPA or better;

• Hold Information Technology certification in network, security, programming, data management, operating systems, or hardware management earned within the last five years; or


• Submit a resume showing one-plus years of IT work experience.
