As computers, computer functions (such as email) and computer networks have become a universal fact of life in the business world, the academic community has begun to evolve its teaching disciplines accordingly. Nowhere is this more evident than among the online colleges, which tend to be a little less bound by tradition and a little more job-oriented. Many people today turn to online education as an extension of their earlier college experience. Accordingly, there is less focus on the liberal arts foundation that is important to young people coming out of high school, but less so to those already in the job market.
University of Phoenix Online has a comprehensive series of bachelor’s and master’s programs centered on the IT (information technology) component of computer science. A number of those degrees are actually majors in business with specialization in information technology. These are the University of Phoenix Online technology degrees available via distance education:
- Bachelor of Science in Business/e-Business
- Bachelor of Science in Business/Information Systems
- Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
- Bachelor of Science in Information Technology/Visual Communication
- Master of Business Administration/Technology Management
- Master of Information Systems
- Master of Information Systems/Management
The University of Phoenix Online degrees are clearly business oriented. One of their choices is an MBA with specialization in information technology. These IT online programs are available to working professionals. It is becoming increasingly common to acquire additional education as a requirement for moving up the management ladder. In our digital society, many times promotion in business is incumbent on education in computer science.
Capella University has, as one of its online academic divisions, the School of Business and Technology. Their assumption is that students will be professionals upon returning to school, as the only online offerings in the department are information technology master’s degrees. An online Capella University Master’s of Science in Information Technology will have one of the following specializations:
- Information Technology
- General Information Security
- Network Architecture and Design
- Project Management and Leadership
- System Design and Programming
People who pursue these master’s degrees are clearly people who want to specialize in the computer science field at a leadership level in a business environment. Capella has a special service on their website that will help you determine the transferable credits you have from previous college experience.
Colorado Technical University has two online master’s in business administration programs that specialize in the computer field. Those are an MBA in Technology Management and an MBA in IT/Business Transformation. This last degree sounds like a specialization in converting from a paper-driven business to an organization with an electronic infrastructure.
Kaplan University offers an online bachelor’s degree in business with a focus on e-business. They also have an MBA program that specializes in IT. The academic cross-breeding of computer science and business grows more widespread with the development of each new business function that stems from computer technology. The retail business on the internet is one example of an enormous business opportunity that, after a shaky start, has developed into a multibillion dollar business segment in the last five years. Nowadays, computer-driven business opportunities develop and mature with remarkable speed.
