Schools, Colleges, and Institutes of Technology 2019

There are an extraordinary number of schools that provide education programs today in the field of technology. Generally, in the educational world, technology is loosely separated into the fields of computer science and information technology (IT). Computer science learning programs, at the college level, grew out of the electrical engineering departments at many schools. Many universities still issue degrees in electrical engineering with a computer science specialty. But, the point is that the term computer science covers the science of all types of technology hardware, from routers, to fiber optic switches, to laptop screens. Information technology programs include the study of computer data and its transmission in many forms. The Internet and its functions fall under information technology, as do computer networks and databases. Digital graphics is a form of information technology. The two terms divide an enormous body of learning into the loosely defined areas of hardware and the data that the hardware puts out. .u3c85d6ef32842901ca383ba94825e98e { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #34495E!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u3c85d6ef32842901ca383ba94825e98e:active, .u3c85d6ef32842901ca383ba94825e98e:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u3c85d6ef32842901ca383ba94825e98e { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u3c85d6ef32842901ca383ba94825e98e .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:inherit; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u3c85d6ef32842901ca383ba94825e98e .post Title { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u3c85d6ef32842901ca383ba94825e98e:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } READ Programming in JavaVirtually all community colleges will have associates degree programs in computer science, information technology or other academic spin-offs. Traditional universities also provide majors in computer science and in information technology. You can also find a good deal of specialization and a much more direct course to a degree through an online college. There are institutes and schools that specialize in certification courses for many of the technical support jobs that make technology systems work. CDI College is an online school with perhaps 20 different courses of study in computer networking, programming and maintenance. Everest College is a school with nine campuses and an online program that offers courses in such topics as computer information systems, advanced microcomputer applications, and applied office technology. These online schools and others like them focus on the field of certification for specific technology skill sets. Westwood College is an online school with 2 technology bachelors programs: information systems security and computer network management. Their 2 associates degree programs in technology specialize in computer network engineering and technical management. .u0bd7283c669561f763724ed70e00b0b8 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #34495E!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u0bd7283c669561f763724ed70e00b0b8:active, .u0bd7283c669561f763724ed70e00b0b8:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u0bd7283c669561f763724ed70e00b0b8 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u0bd7283c669561f763724ed70e00b0b8 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:inherit; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u0bd7283c669561f763724ed70e00b0b8 .post Title { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u0bd7283c669561f763724ed70e00b0b8:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } READ Business Administration SalariesUniversity of Phoenix Online has a series of bachelors and masters degrees that center on IT, many combined with a concentration on business: Associate of Arts in Information Technology.
