Web and Mobile Computing BS

RIT has been a leader in technology education for decades, pioneering the teaching of computing since the early 1970s. As a global leader in IT education, RIT continuously tracks the latest trends in the IT industry and sets new educational standards, providing students with practical knowledge that is immediately applicable in the job market.

The Information Technology BS program combines technical knowledge with hands-on experience in software development, data management, networking, cloud technologies, DevOps, cybersecurity, and AI-enabled tools. Through project-based coursework and practical learning experiences, students learn how to solve real-world technology challenges, support users, and deliver digital solutions that create value for organizations.

As AI takes over routine tasks, the most valued IT professionals are those who can think critically, communicate clearly, and make responsible decisions. That's why the Information Technology BS combines technical depth with a strong liberal arts foundation: critical reading and writing, ethics, statistics, public speaking, technical communication, and project management. You'll learn to evaluate information critically, including AI-generated answers, and back your decisions with evidence. You'll present your work, write for technical and non-technical audiences, and collaborate as a team member and leader, from classroom projects and co-op placements with real employers to your year-long senior project. All courses are taught in English, the working language of the global tech industry, and you can broaden your perspective through a foreign language or psychology immersion.

Graduates of the Information Technology BS program develop both technical and professional skills:

Technical skills

• Web, mobile, and software development
• Integrating AI tools and services into software solutions
• Database design and management
• Networking and infrastructure
• Systems administration, cloud services, and DevOps fundamentals
• User interface and user experience design
• Requirements analysis and IT solution design
• Security fundamentals
• IT project management

Professional skills

• Critical thinking and evidence-based problem solving
• Responsible and ethical use of AI
• Clear communication with technical and non-technical audiences
• Teamwork and leadership in multidisciplinary teams

Through hands-on projects, co-op placements, and a year-long senior project, students learn to design, build, deploy, and maintain IT solutions that balance security, usability, reliability, and the real needs of people and organizations.

The American higher education system enables students to choose a minor. It is a related set of academic courses that enable students to expand their knowledge in a specific area; for example, you can choose an International Business minor and combine it with your Information Technology courses. 

The benefits of having a minor are multiple; from being visible on a university transcript to enabling a student to develop another area of professional expertise or personal interest and showcase depth in more than one discipline.

Minimum 800 hours of work experience 

What’s different about an RIT Croatia education? It’s the valuable career experience you gain through cooperative education—connecting with leading companies across various industries. You’ll earn more than a degree. You’ll gain real-world career experience that sets you apart.

The program is focused on hands-on experience from Day 1; therefore students are required to complete a minimum of 800 hours of cooperative education (co-op) or internship placements. This provides students with valuable professional experience and gives them a competitive advantage in launching their careers. At RIT Croatia, students take the lead in securing their co-ops, while we provide strong industry connections through classroom engagement and events. Our students gain experience with both local and internationally renowned companies, learning about web and mobile computing from top professionals.

Co-op is usually completed in the summer following sophomore and junior years. Co-op is planned, monitored, and evaluated by the student, the co-op counselor, and the employing firm.

! For students who enrolled in the undergraduate Web and Mobile Computing BS program prior to the 2027/2028 academic year:

The undergraduate Web and Mobile Computing (WMC) BS program has undergone targeted curriculum revisions and has been renamed the Information Technology (IT) BS program.

Students who enrolled in the Web and Mobile Computing BS program prior to the 2027–28 academic year will not be affected by these changes. They will continue their studies under the existing WMC curriculum and will graduate with the U.S. degree title Web and Mobile Computing, BS.

The revised Information Technology curriculum and U.S. degree title will apply to students who enroll beginning with the 2027–28 academic year. These students will follow the updated curriculum and graduate with the degree title Information Technology, BS.

The Croatian accreditation and official diploma title remain unchanged for students enrolled in both the Web and Mobile Computing and Information Technology BS programs due to these curriculum revisions.

WMC students who would like more information about the updated Information Technology curriculum are encouraged to contact the Department Chair, Dr. Alan Mutka or schedule a meeting with their Academic Advisor to explore the curriculum changes.

A detailed overview of courses and curriculum will be available soon. For additional information please contact our Admissions Department: admissions@croatia.rit.edu.
