In order to enter the baccalaureate CIT program, students must have a two-year transfer degree, or equivalent, with a C or better in College Algebra (Math 1111) or Mathematical Modeling (Math 1101) and English 1102 (Literature & Composition). They also must have a 2.0 GPA.

To be formally admitted to the CIT Program, students should schedule an advising appointment with Dr. Amy Berke, Coordinator of the Program (email amy.berke@maconstate.edu to request appointment). Afterward, students should send a letter formally declaring the intention to enter the program to Dr. Amy Berke (amy.berke@maconstate.edu). The letter should be written in standard business format and should be attached to the email.

Freshmen can enter the CIT program through any major, keeping in mind that before they have completed 60 hours of course work, students should get a C or better in the following courses: COMM 1110, Journalism 1135, Journalism 2131, and ITEC 2215.

Please Note: No grade less than a C will count as credit once a student has entered the CIT program. A student, however, may repeat any course in the CIT curriculum, with the grade of C or better replacing either the D or the F.

If students are not planning an Associate’s Degree and want a direct track to CIT, they should follow the core curriculum outlined in the Associate of Arts in General Studies Program, working the following electives into Area F:

• Journalism 1135
• Journalism 2131
• COMM 1110
• ITEC 2215
• 6 hrs. of approved electives

Do not confuse Area F with the 18-hour humanties core. Area F is part of the core curriculum, whereas the 18-hour humanities core begins the junior/senior level classes.
