The Curriculum

Indiana Wesleyan computer courses start with "Introduction to Computer Information Technology," which provides students with an overview of computer information technology, its history, current computer technology, and future trends. Other computer information technology courses include programming, operating systems, desktop applications, database concepts, and other courses.
IWU does not include only online computer courses, but adds courses emphasizing the importance of communications skills. You'll learn how to do your best work in an organizational setting that may sometimes be culturally different from you.
Humanities classes are very important in addition to the online computer courses. Through them you'll discover your creative side, learning how to become a better decision maker.
IWU also emphasizes the importance of personal growth through an ethical, values-based life. IT professionals should be able to inspire trust and loyalty. In addition to your online computer courses, you'll take courses to help develop an appreciation and understanding of a Christian world view, including a servant-leader mentality.
