Computer Degrees
Required Degrees and Suggested Courses
A bachelor’s degree usually is required for
management positions, although employers often prefer a
graduate degree, especially a master’s degree in business
administration (MBA) with technology as a core component.
This degree differs from a traditional MBA
in that there is a heavy emphasis on information technology
in addition to the standard business curriculum. This is
becoming important because more computer and information
systems managers are making important technology decisions
as well as business decisions for their organizations.
Some universities specialize in offering
degrees in management information systems, which blend technical
core subjects with business, accounting, and communications
courses. A few computer and information systems managers
may have only an associate degree if they have sufficient
experience and were able to learn additional skills on the
job.
To aid their professional advancement, though,
many managers with an associate degree eventually earn a
bachelor’s or master’s degree while working.
