Information Technology classes being taught at the main campus in
Radford.
Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science and

This bachelor's degree is
specifically designed for students who have completed an articulated
two-year community college degree in Information Technology
or Computer Science. The cohort classes will be taught in a
sequence that will allow students to complete both the

of the 36 credit hours master's degree. All courses will be
available at SVHEC, and most students will complete the program in 2
years (6 semesters).
Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Information Technology*
This three-semester certificate
program is designed for educators who teach Information
Technology/Computer Science at the baccalaureate level or for secondary
instructors who teach Advanced Placement and/or Dual Enrollment courses

also suitable for individuals who want to enhance their technology
skills and credentials for current and future employers.
Coursework includes 18 credit hours of graduate-level instruction in
software development and algorithms, computer organization and operation
systems, web development systems, database concepts, networking

Graduate Degree Programs
The Radford University College of Graduate and
Extended Education currently offers three master of science degrees at SVHEC
through the educational cohort system. The three degree programs, which
generally require two to three
years
to complete, include
Educational Leadership,
Social Work
(MSW), and
Counseling
and Human Development
(school and community counseling).
These extended education programs typically form new
cohorts every two to three years. Enrollment in these cohort programs is
generally closed once the cohort classes begin. New cohorts for these
graduate programs formed in Fall 2005.
The next cohorts in Educational Leadership and Social Work will form in fall
2007. A new counseling cohort will begin classes in fall 2008. While waiting for the formation of new cohorts, prospective students are
encouraged to begin the online application process at
