CIT is Computing and Information Technology or Computer Information Technology. It is generally the name of a department that teaches IT, CS, and IS type of courses.
CS is Computer Science and deals with the development of computer hardware and software, mainly the Operating System. IT is Information Technology and deals with the development of hardware and software, mainly applications, that processes business data. IS is Information Systems and deals with the entire computer systems including the users of these systems.
For example, in CS you will learn programming in C because it is the main language for writing OSes. In IT, which CIT often refers to, you will learn programming in Java because many applications, including web applications, used that language. In IS you will learn using Microsoft Word because it is what computer users used most often in the office.
Here's a practice exam for INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
Question 1-5. What does the acronyms CPU, A/L U, ROM, BIOS, RAM stand for?

Question 7. Are joysticks input or output devices?
Question 8. Are scanners input or output devices?

If you're a student of CSN, you're welcome to attend these IS 101 Presentations and Programming Team Challenge.
Go Team!
