Abstract: This research investigates university students’ attitudes towards an IT integrated curriculum, aiming to deepen understanding of how such integration influences student engagement and perceptions of academic relevance. Employing a comprehensive methodology, the analysis synthesizes findings from various studies conducted over the past decade. The study sample population was 100 students drawn for all the schools and courses of study. It comprised 51 females and 49 Males The results highlight a general positive attitude among students towards IT integration within their curricula, which is correlated with increased engagement in learning activities. Key factors influencing these attitudes include the perceived relevance of IT tools, the integration of collaborative projects, and the lecturer’s contribution, the quality of instructional support. Moreover, this review identifies specific trends indicating that students with prior exposure to technology-enhanced learning environments tend to have more favorable attitudes compared to their peers with less experience. The implications of these findings suggest that curriculum developers and university educators should prioritize strategic IT incorporation in higher education frameworks. This approach not only aligns educational practices with evolving technological landscapes but also fosters a more engaging and responsive learning atmosphere. Recommendations include stakeholder collaboration for curriculum design and the implementation of comprehensive training for educators on effective IT integration strategies.
