Computers & Technology

The growing field of Computers and Technology will allow any student to find that job for which they are looking. This field of study is also perfect for anyone looking to implement the use of computers or other forms of technology into their current work. There may have been a technology bubble in the economy, but the advancements that have been made technologically over the last ten years have expanded the impact and promise for the field. While flying cars and teleportation were once the simple dreams of the imagination, any limits on technology now seem futile. If you are looking for a job that forces you to be creative and solve complex problems while developing and working with cutting edge technologies, this is the degree program for you.

Since computers and other forms of technology like robotics can be applied to just about any industry, students will have the option of focusing on a particular area of the field such as computer programming or information security or they can choose to select a program that will give a broad overview of computers and their use in the workplace.

New technological developments are made every day, so degree holders must stay up to date with changes in the industry. Computers have also become useful in just about every walk of life, from driving to finding new ways to clean the house—industry growth is expected to compound exponentially as new technologies are invented and those technologies are put to use in people’s daily lives. With the explosion of “green technologies”, opportunities will continue to open up for people with a background in computers and technology who want to move into this new arena.

Salaries vary across the diverse fields of computers and technology, with entry level computer programmers averaging around $42,000 annually and software developers making twice that amount. Software engineers have a median salary around $50,000 and database administrators average around $80,000. With employment in the computer and technology arena expected to grow at about a 38% rate over the next decade, this is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy.
