It combines with all industries in the world, develops rapidly, and has a profound impact on human production and life. Aesthetic education plays a high role in China's higher education. For a long time, people have formed much understanding of the aesthetic education of engineering majors, while information technology, as a new engineering major intersecting with all industries, has more urgent, comprehensive and profound requirements for aesthetic education. As the cradle of information technology talents, how to cultivate talents leading the development of the times has become an important topic. This paper, starting from the problems faced by aesthetic education of colleges and universities and combined with the characteristics of information technology major, points out that the purpose of information technology major to carry out aesthetic education is to achieve harmony between man and nature and ensure that information technology benefits human society, aiming to let students develop aesthetic consciousness and aesthetic ability, shape perfect personality, and create beautiful things. The paper also discusses the connotation of aesthetic education of information technology major, pointing out that information technology major should realize the organic combination of aesthetic knowledge and professional accomplishment based on its training objectives, strengthen students' document writing ability, human-machine interface design ability and code design ability in line with aesthetic requirements, and cultivate talents good at communication and cooperation and meet the needs of the information age.
