Thanks to all of our alumni that helped our students with the spring networking meetings. The Information Technology job market and salaries are staying strong throughout 2021.

We could not see you in person last year, but our advisory board has put together a scholarship crowdfunding effort!

Spring is here! Don't forget to check out Doug's latest TechNugget.  We keep working on really new things.

Information technology, game development, AR/VR and esports

The McClure School of Emerging Communication Technologies* offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in information and telecommunication systems, preparing students for careers in this fast-growing industry. Jobs in the information information technology field are projected to grow by up to 30 percent by 2020. If you want a career working with technology, in a business setting, this is the place for you.

If you want a career in the intersection between creativity, storytelling and technology, in collaboration with the Media School we also offer a joint degree in games and animation. We are also the home of a new esports certificate.

GRID Lab

Since 2019, the school is now proud to be the home of the GRID Lab which was established in 2005 as a special initiative of the college. The lab conducts advanced research and produces content largely centering on augmented, virtual, mixed reality and digital games. In the very near future, new academic programs focusing on virtual reality and game design are being planned.

^{*At their June 21, 2019 meeting the Ohio University Board of Trustees approved the creation of the J. Warren McClure School of Emerging Communication Technologies by combining the J. Warren McClure School of Information Telecommunication Systems and the Game Research and Immersive Design (GRID) Lab.}
