IT Transfer vs. Applied IT Programs IT transfer programs which prepare students for transfer toa four-year college or university where they will completetheir IT baccalaureate degree(IT-Transfer2019) Separate Information Technology Competency Model ofCore Learning Outcomes and Assessment for AssociateDegree Curriculum exists for applied two-year IT programs(IT2yr2014) Tim will contrast guidance documents later10/9/2019IT-Transfer2019 @ SIGITE 201912

General Education Requirements To accommodate GE, the IT Transfer2019 Task Group choseto keep this guidance as flexible as possible. Example: California’s Intersegmental General EducationTransfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern California Community College students can use IGETC to fulfillall lower-division general education requirements at any CSUor University of California campus. Requires completion of a minimum of 37 semester/49 quarterunits of lower division work10/9/2019IT-Transfer2019 @ SIGITE 201913

Professional, Communication,and Teamwork Skills Work Experience Most IT professionals must be able to complementtheir IT skills with professional skills, communicationskills, and teamwork skills to be successful. Students should gain as much hands-on experience aspossible prior to graduation. Greatest benefit from work experience or work-basedlearning after transfer10/9/2019IT-Transfer2019 @ SIGITE 201914
