I run a 13 person IT shop at a Big-10 university. If I were a single person shop, what would be different? I wouldn't write code. I would be all about integrating off the shelf software into my systems. I would very likely be stitching University databases and third party apps together. I would be a call center and a support shop. I would be doing a lot of reading logs, Googling errors, and generally trouble shooting. I would be more than functionally literate on MACs, PCs, Unix, and MF machines. I'd know a reasonable amount about networking, and even more about SQL.

If you were going to roll this into a minor, I'd call it something like Applied Information Technology Management (or some mix of such buzz words). (Note: James K. badgered me into posting)
