Bachelor Degrees in Computer Programming & Software Development

You might think you know what a computer programmer does: writing software and patching computer code written by other people, and you'd be right. However, the industry has recently gone "Hollywood" by adding an exciting new dimension to an already interesting career. More and more, computerized special effects are used in movies to simulate people, places and things. Software developers are integral to the process and an education in languages like C++ and strong knowledge of digital imaging are key.

An online degree in programming or software development is convenient because you can keep your current job and choose the program that is right for you without having to move to another city to attend classes. A degree plan usually includes classes in advanced application development, software testing, and theories of software development.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median salary for a computer programmer or software developer ranges from $62,000 to $73,000. Although no degree program can guarantee employment or a certain salary, the BLS also projects that getting or keeping a programming job without having at least a bachelor's degree is becoming increasingly difficult, with under-educated employees facing the risk of outsourcing.
