What types of careers can I get with a degree in Information Technology Management?

 

The emergence of technology in virtually every area of life offers many opportunities for skilled technology professionals. The U.S. Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics projects technology related careers to have the highest percentage of job growth through the first decade of the 21st century. One third of the fastest growing jobs will be in information technology related fields. Job opportunities for computer software application developers and network systems administrators are expected to grow the fastest. The Bureau predicts a 100 percent increase in jobs requiring applications development and support and an 82 percent increase in employment openings for skilled networking professionals -- occupations for which the Information Technology Management program prepares graduates (also see our Computer Software Technology (Software Engineering) degree program).
