Admission Requirements
Although there are no specific admission requirements to this
undergraduate degree program other than those specified for
admission to the University of Missouri-Kansas City, students
contemplating a major in information technology are strongly urged
to take as many science and mathematics courses in secondary school as
possible. Students without the prerequisite preparation must take the needed
coursework before enrolling in courses
required for the bachelor's degree.
Students seeking re-admission must have been in good academic
standing when last enrolled. Otherwise, re-admission requires a
formal review by the undergraduate program committee.
Transfer students (i.e., from community colleges) will be
admitted provided they have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA;
however, a higher GPA is strongly recommended for students pursing
this rigorous degree program. Their coursework is accepted for transfer credit per university-wide policy, but will replace degree requirements only if a grade of C or higher is obtained and if either their content is equivalent to course requirements of the degree
program/courses at the University of Missouri-Kansas City or the transfer is approved as part of a transfer articulation agreement. Not all courses taken at other institutions will transfer, and if they transfer, they might not satisfy specific degree requirements. Students taking courses at other institutions are welcome (and encouraged) to check the transferability of coursework before taking these courses at the home institution.
