CollegeAmerica Now Offers a Computer Science Degree with a Programming Emphasis

Fort Collins, Colorado, September 13, 2011 - Information technology has infiltrated nearly every aspect of society, from trade, education, social interactions, and communication to consumer needs, transmission of sensitive information, entertainment, and more. Computing systems have benefited almost everyone: small business owners, multinational corporations, and even government agencies. As our reliance on technology and computing systems increases, the demand for specialized, qualified, competent computer science professionals is bound to rise. Plus, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, *computer science degree holders generally receive the highest median salary apart from engineering majors. And according to a CareerCast report, two of the 10 most fulfilling jobs today, software engineer and computer systems analyst, generally require a Bachelor’s of Computer Science. **

College America now offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with Programming Emphasis.
