Industrial Technology (IT)
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Industrial Technology, General Option, is available through Purdue University's College of Technology at Richmond. Please refer to the Overview of the IT program for a more in-depth description of the curriculum.
The General Option of the B.S. in Industrial Technology is designed to enable a student with a technical Purdue A.S. degree to continue without loss of university credit. Consult the Purdue University academic counselor for how previous coursework may apply toward this B.S. degree. Students with credit from other institutions should ask about the latest course transfer and articulation agreements.
Descriptions of the courses taught by Purdue faculty can be found in Purdue's Courses & Schedules page.
Note: A concentrated-study technical certificate is also available related to IT.
