Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) - Information Resource Management (IRM)

Carleton University

The world of information technology is always evolving. What is now commonplace was once a breakthrough. As a student in one of the four Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) programs, you will acquire the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to address the IT issues of today and shape the future of information technology. The four-year Information Resource Management (IRM) program enables students to graduate with both a Bachelor of Information Technology degree from Carleton University and a Library and Information Technician diploma from Algonquin College. In four years, graduates obtain what would otherwise take six years to complete. The program provides students with a broad understanding of information management, as well as specific capabilities in managing digital resources as these affect research data, websites and social media. Such skills are especially important now that the library and information technology field has moved beyond the traditional library setting to encompass a wide range of occupations in both the private- and public-sectors.
