Types of Technology Degree Programs and Technology Certificate Programs
Earning an IT online degree or IT online certificate has become more popular in recent years because it provides working adults with the opportunity to advance their careers while continuing to work full-time. For example, you can study for your Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree in the evenings while working a regular job during the day – perhaps in a related field such as data analysis. Whether you acquire an online IT degree or complete your coursework in an on-campus program, your degree in IT is likely to be a smart investment; the US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the demand for IT professionals like computer scientists and database administrators will grow by 37% through 2016.
Your on-campus or online IT degree can qualify you for a stable, high-paying career. You can select from a wide variety of IT and technology degrees, but some of the most common – and the jobs they can lead you to – include:
- Associate of Science (AS) in Web Design – This degree typically takes two years of full-time study and teaches you the basics of creating websites, including essential programming languages like HTML and JavaScript. An AS in Web Design prepares you for entry-level web production positions.
- Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) Database Specialization – Requiring four years of full-time coursework, this BSIT specialty prepares you to work with database management systems like Oracle and SQL. Given the proliferation of computers and information-oriented business, both the quantity and quality of database administration jobs are likely to continue growing for the foreseeable future.
- Master of Information Systems Management (MISM) – An MISM degree usually takes between one and two years of postgraduate study to complete. The program teaches you the skills to integrate the most modern IT solutions with practical business concerns. Top-level technology management positions can be within reach once you earn your MISM degree.
