This trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. Since all these changes come at a time where the Palestinian people aspire to build their independent state, we at the College of IT believe that we have the responsibility to provide our country with Information technology professionals at a high level of know-how hoping that they will take their role in building a strong knowledge-based Palestinian Economy. Our ambition is that our graduates will be leaders in integrating the Information technology in government and nongovernment organizations to improve Palestinian economy and also be competitive in the global market of information technology.
