Information Technology (IT) Innovation, Bachelor of Science

The IT Innovation (ITIN) program involves the study of entrepreneurship as it relates to IT and an individual field of interest. Courses in this degree program are listed in the catalog as IT Innovation (ITIN).

Why major in IT Innovation?

  • To have flexibility in designing your own curriculum
  • To be able to take more courses that are aligned with your career goals
  • To be prepared to be an entrepreneur (an ambitious leader who combines his/her ideas with labor and capital to create and market new goods or services)
  • To be prepared to be an intrapreneur (using entrepreneurial skills as an employee within an established organization)
  • To have a degree that appeals to a wide variety of potential employers

The IT Innovation degree has three simple but distinguishing features:

  1. You pick 33 credit hours from anywhere on campus that line up with your career goals.
  2. You participate in seminars, workshops, and conferences on entrepreneurship.
  3. You take a solid core of IT courses, plus a two-semester senior capstone course where:
    • You have an idea for a new IT product or service.
    • You document your idea’s technical and market feasibility.
    • You carry your idea through to prototype stage.

Student Groups

UNO’s IT Innovation students are invited to join the Information Technology Innovation Group (IT Inc.)

Fast Track

The School of Interdisciplinary Informatics (SI2) has developed a Fast Track program for highly qualified and motivated students providing the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in an accelerated time frame.  With Fast Track, students may count up to 9 graduate credit hours towards the completion of their undergraduate program as well as the graduate degree program. Students will work with both undergraduate and graduate advisors to ensure graduate classes selected will count toward both programs, should a student wish to earn a graduate degree in a separate College of Information Science & Technology (CIST) area than their undergraduate degree.

Program Specifics:

  • This program is available for undergraduate students pursuing any CIST undergraduate degree desiring to pursue an MS in either the same or a related CIST field. 
  • Students must have completed no less than 60 undergraduate hours.
  • Students must have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0.
  • Students must complete the Fast Track Approval form and obtain all signatures and submit to the Office of Graduate Studies prior to first enrollment in a graduate course.
  • Students will work with their undergraduate advisor to register for the graduate courses.
  • A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required for graduate coursework to remain in good standing.
  • Students remain undergraduates until they meet all the requirements for the undergraduate degree and are eligible for all rights and privileges granted undergraduate status including financial aid.
  • Near the end of the undergraduate program, formal application to the graduate program is requiredAll applicants will need to meet any other admission requirements established for the MS in selected CIST program. The application fee will be waived if the applicant contacts the Office of Graduate Studies for a fee waiver code prior to submitting the MS application.
    • Admission to Fast Track does NOT guarantee admission to the graduate program. 
    • The admit term must be after the completion term of the undergraduate degree.

Requirements

A minimum of 120 credit hours is required for a Bachelor of Science degree in IT Innovation. Thirty of the last 36 hours must be University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) courses. Registering for courses without having taken the stated prerequisites could result in administrative withdrawal.

To obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in IT Innovation, a student must fulfill the university, college and departmental requirements. Some courses may satisfy requirements in more than one area, but credit is awarded only once, thereby reducing the total number of credit hours for the degree to 120. (This total does not include prerequisites.)

*

Students are encouraged to submit their area of emphasis proposal at the end of their sophomore year and/or after they complete or are about to complete ITIN 2220. Proposed courses for the area of emphasis cannot include courses that are already part of the required core curriculum for ITIN and the required core curriculum for all IS&T majors (including prerequisites like IS&T 1300, etc.). In addition, the student cannot include a course that is already being used to satisfy general education requirements. The Program Committee expects courses to be mostly upper level, although it is understood that, sometimes, lower level courses are appropriate (because they may be the only place where necessary skills can be learned, or they may be required perquisites for necessary upper level courses, or they are sufficiently rigorous despite their lower level designation).

Writing in the Discipline

All UNO students are required to take a writing-in-the-discipline course within their major. ITIN degree students must take CIST 3000

Second Bachelor's Degree for IT Innovation

General Requirements

Students who have satisfied the requirements for a first bachelor's degree other than IT Innovation (ITIN) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha must complete a minimum of 30 additional semester hours at the University for a second bachelor's degree.

IT Innovation Requirements (87 hours)

To obtain IT Innovation as a second Bachelor’s degree, students must complete academic requirements for the degree which include 6 credit hours of Mathematics courses, 24 credit hours of required IS&T core courses, 24 credit hours of required ITIN core courses, and 33 credit hours of area of emphasis courses. (Approval of the area of emphasis courses by the ITIN Undergraduate Program Committee is required prior to course enrollment.) Students must consult an academic advisor in the College of IS&T prior to starting this program. Some transfer coursework may apply; however, 30 of the last 36 hours for the degree must be University of Nebraska at Omaha courses.

ITIN 1110  INTRODUCTION TO IT INNOVATION (3 credits)

In almost every modern human endeavor, creativity and Information Technology are essential. In the Internet age, information has become a commodity that is available to everyone. Similarly, current technology has largely become commoditized. Therefore, creating new value is becoming the basis for successful professionals. This course introduces students to tools, techniques, and methods for generating innovative information technology ideas and solutions. It teaches them to think about future possibilities and equips them with the ability to critically evaluate proposed innovations and ideas. The goal of the course is to increase students' ability to creatively solve challenging problems in new ways using information technology. This class is inherently interdisciplinary as IT now touches every aspect of modern academic pursuits.

ITIN 3330  PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT (3 credits)

This course will cover elements and principles of excellent product design and development. The history of design will be reviewed and overarching tenets of design will be introduced. The course will particularly focus on innovation and students will be expected to develop an original concept and create quality designs and low-fidelity prototype implementations of their unique idea. The proposed solutions must be novel and meet a real-world market need. This course will be hands-on and will examine developmental models for innovation.

Prerequisite(s): ITIN 2220. Not open to non-degree graduate students.

ITIN 4000  SPECIAL TOPICS IN IT INNOVATION (3 credits)
