It's not hard to imagine why computer and IT courses work well online. Study IT online and you'll likely be using the latest tools and technology to design software, practice trouble-shooting, and learn about networking and security issues.
And since you're more than comfortable with a computer, you should be able to get the most out of your school's online education software and its many different bells and whistles, including streaming video and real-time text and voice communication systems.
Potential Career Paths: Getting an online degree in computer science or a related IT area is great preparation for pursuing computer programmer or data communications analyst opportunities. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, those two occupations have average annual compensations of $74,690 and $76,560.*
