Mary Fetzer , Penn State; IST announces new information technology ethics and compliance major
"The Penn State College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) has announced a new undergraduate degree to guide the creation and use of technology toward fair, just and ethical outcomes. The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology Ethics and Compliance (IEC) program is about maximizing technology’s positive effects on society. New and current students can now enroll for the fall 2025 semester.
“As technology becomes embedded into everyday aspects of life, the need for ethical, thoughtful and socially responsible leadership in information technology has never been greater,” said Andrea Tapia, dean of the College of IST. “From artificial intelligence and data analytics to digital surveillance and cybersecurity, today’s most urgent challenges are as much about people and power as they are about code.”
Meeting those challenges will require professionals who can navigate complex sociotechnical systems and advocate for justice, equity and the public good, ensuring that design systems support fairness and accountability."
