All college students, regardless of their college major, need to be able to make reasonable decisions about fiscal, environmental, and health issues that require quantitative reasoning skills. An activity based approach is used to explore numerical relationships, graphs, proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning, and problem solving using linear, exponential and other mathematical models. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts.

In this course, students will learn the basic concepts of data analysis and how they are used to drive business processes. Students will learn to identify and retrieve relevant data sources, and to prepare data for analysis with pre-configured and custom tools. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to prepare data for further analysis to drive decision making for business.

In this course students will learn basic concepts and applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), including AI project cycles. Instruction will focus on issues surrounding AI including ethics, bias, culture, regulations. Upon completion of this course students will be able to apply AI concepts to organizational solutions.

In this course, students will explore the fundamental aspects of information technology. Students investigate basic hardware systems, various operating systems, important software packages, networking fundamentals, basic internet technologies, and essential problem solving techniques. Upon completion of the class, students are prepared to utilize their IT skills to work effectively in IT-related tasks.

In this course, students investigate the fundamentals of computer programming using the Python programming language. Students examine data types, variables, conditional statements, looping, array structures, and structured programming techniques. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to use Python to apply problem solving skills to create applications for delivery to various platforms.

This course introduces students to some of the major theories and topics of psychology, including the physiological basis of behavior, personality and learning theories, memory, states of consciousness, stress, research methods, intelligence, human development, psychopathology, and social behavior.

In this course, students explore the Gateway Technical College community. They examine college resources and services, investigate skills that lead to academic success, and identify strategies for achieving educational and personal goals.

This capstone class will provide students with opportunities to apply knowledge and concepts acquired in program coursework. Students will develop proficiency while resolving issues in a simulated, scenario-based environment. In addition to reinforcement of concepts previously covered in the curriculum, the course will include employment seeking skills (resumes, portfolios, interviewing), image creation and deployment, and remote desktop diagnostics/troubleshooting.

In this course, students explore concepts, design, documentation, and implementation of various database systems, including proprietary and open source technologies. Students implement Structured Query Language (SQL) to store, retrieve, and manipulate data. Students create queries, normalize database structures, and create stored procedures. Upon completion of this course, students will be prepared to develop and maintain databases used in application development.

Focus will be on project management from the information systems professional perspective while keeping a customer-based orientation and business focus. Cooperative team-based business strategies will be stressed. Students will develop written and oral communications, as necessary, to complete the steps within the project management process. Project management software will be utilized, within all phases of the systems development as the students progress through a team-based project simulation.
