Double Major - IT/ID Degree |
It is common for students to combine the Industrial Technology and Industrial Distribution degree programs to get a double major in IT/ID that is highly valued by employers. The Industrial Distribution industry consists of manufacturers and distributor partners that produce and distribute industrial/technical products for sale to industrial, commercial and construction enterprises.
The majority of manufacturers market their products through wholesale distribution partners, and the knowledge of manufacturing and distribution concepts provides valuable expertise in this market. Likewise, wholesale distributors of industrial products sell to industrial manufacturers, and the technical knowledge of how products are manufactured, in addition to the distribution concepts they need to manage operations, are highly prized by them as well. Some of the highest salaries paid by our employers are for our double majors.
