TAILIEUCHUNG - Top 10 U.S. College Programs for IT

You should note that we have focused on IT business education rather than computer science, which is aimed at programmers and developers. We feel that the two are different tracks, al- though those who are interested in managing teams of develop- ers and getting on the CTO career track could certainly combine the two in a major/minor scenario. That said, we chose to focus this special report on the CIO career track, which includes IT professional roles such as support pro- fessional, network administrator, project manager, IT consultant, and IT manager.

Unfortunately nearly all of the computer classes I found at my public university involved programming UNIX systems and mainframes. Since I wasn t really interested in programming my dreams of becoming a professional computer geek appeared to be dashed. However through a combination of luck and persistence I did end up going into IT after I graduated from college with a liberal arts degree. I got some formal technical education through professional training courses and I ended up getting a couple of technical certifications to show that I at least had some minimal competency in IT. But in the five years after I left college in the mid-1990s the IT field exploded. Lots of new workers poured into IT and like me most of them did not have a formal education in IT management. However since then colleges and universities have begun to catch up. Some now have entire schools dedicated to IT while many others offer bachelor s degrees in Information Systems Information Technology .
