Learn e-commerce, online security and more

Computer science professionals that want to focus on a critical niche can earn strong salaries as Internet technology specialists. Though large companies have discovered the power of the World Wide Web to revolutionize their businesses, a new breed of "minipreneurs" has exploded onto the scene. Each of these small businesses requires specialized help to get their products and services online. Internet technology graduates can ride this wave of business innovation by helping companies of all sizes achieve their business objectives online.

Compared to information technology specialists that study a broad range of systems and techniques, Internet technology students focus on hardware and software that connects people and ideas online. Top Internet technology degree programs offer concentrations in e-commerce, online security, and data compression. Using skills from these courses, Internet technology students complete a series of hands-on projects, some of which evolve into new standards for educators and businesses.

Internet technology graduates enjoy the same bright job prospects as the entire computing technology field. After graduation from an accredited Internet technology program, a student can choose to earn a starting salary of $45,000 or more at an established firm, according to the Department of Labor. Other students can join startup ventures in the hopes of converting their skills into lucrative stock options.

Online Degrees in Internet Technology

With the Internet filtering through both business and personal worlds, qualified IT professionals will continue to be in demand. Internet technology is a general term for a variety of related programs. You might choose to specialize in telecommunications, cyber security, computer support, or networking, to name just a few.

As sensitive data moves across the Internet, cybersecurity presents a challenge, from the biggest organizations down to the individual user. Computer and information systems managers can fill this demand. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, "the emergence of cybersecurity as a key issue facing most organizations should lead to strong growth for computer managers. Firms will increasingly hire cybersecurity experts to fill key leadership roles in their information technology departments." In a cybersecurity program, you will learn to design and manage secure computer systems, recover data, and prevent hackers and viruses. The coursework covers encryption, firewalls, and cryptology.

Another possible career is computer technical support. This field combines technical knowledge with strong communication and interpersonal skills. Classes focus on software, hardware, troubleshooting, and repair of computers. Additionally, several Internet technology programs help with the acquisition of industry or vendor certification in the networking field.

Internet technology is a broad field with a huge variety of opportunities. No degree program can guarantee a specific job or income, but with the right career training, your options are limitless.
