I was indeed hoping to learn more about Information Technology for my four year education. However, I am not bothered by the absence of this at San Francisco State University. This because I have learned what is needed for Information Technology through books, community college courses, and experience. The business side of the equation is so involved, that I really have enough on my plate for now.
If anyone would wish to learn specifically IT, they'll have to gain hard skills through books, certification courses, or more economically through a local community college in areas of Microsoft Certification, Red Hat Linux, Cisco's CCNA, etc. There's so many skills where students can get exposure. Ultimately though, most of the education is from tinkering with the computer, trying out scripts, playing with equipment.
For more business side of skills, I think ITIL would be the biggest area of study that is essential to Information Technology. The U.S. Department of Defense is really into this system, and I imagine it will become quite popular. The problem is that, I really do not know where to learn this material, other than professional certification schools.
