Hello! I am YukieNakama, but you can call me Yukie. I am posting a nice little guide for tips for both the Old and the New BSIT Degree program (April 2026). It is my hope that you can get the ball rolling and understand the big changes that occurred especially those that may want to transition to the new program.

While I do not have direct advice on courses added, I can give general information to help guide students.

Note: Many of the competent or easier courses were removed from the Old program and new courses were added. The following were programs that were relatively “easy” in the old program. Personally I found the business courses very helpful later on with PAs pertaining to the pre-masters

• Principles of Management
• Organization Behavior and Leadership
• Spreadsheets
• User Interface Design
• Scripting and Programming Foundations </aside>
