Online Technology Degrees

Information technology is one of the most stable and fast growing industries based on job availability, salary expectation, and career advancement opportunity. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, technology managers held about 265,000 jobs in 2008, with about 25% of these professionals working in computer systems design and related services. Employment of computer and information technology professionals and managers is predicted to increase by 16% over the next decade.

While earnings can vary greatly depending on specialty, location, and position, average pay for information technology professionals is relatively high when compared with earnings for professionals in all other industries. In 2008, the median salary for computer and information technology managers was nearly $110,000.

The most common degree that employers are looking for in a candidate is a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or programming. For IT professionals seeking a development or managerial position a master's degree in an IT related discipline is usually preferred over a bachelor's degree. Earning an MBA is also highly recommended for IT professionals. Advanced business training is something that many companies look for in information technology job applicants.

Online IT degree programs have many advantages over campus-based programs. Online degree programs provide students with a rich technological component not available from campus-based programs. Additionally, the online distance learning environment helps to promote self-sufficiency and problem-solving skills that most employers value in their IT employees.
