What Is an Information Technology Degree (IT Degree)

What is an Information Techology Degree? I certainly wondered that as I was starting... I can shed some light on what you should expect. IT is a field many of us want to get into, but is it right for you?

Thank you for this explanation! As a person who doesn't know whether to pick IT or computer science, I found this video really helpful :)

Thank you so so much for this! Was debating between the two and I like them both but I want to concentrate on Web Development and Communication software(s), and from past experience, programming doesn't bother me at all, although it requires a lot of time and practice. All in all, I feel like IT is more flexible, while Computer Science is more concentrated, so I opted for IT. I just needed that extra boost to give me confidence that I have chosen the right path for me, and your video has helped me to feel more at ease with my decision. Looking forward to joining the IT world.

I think the best analogy with tech is to be compared with the medical field.
tech support = paramedic. IT Degree
network, server operations or admin = nursing, IT Degree
software developer = Medical Doctor, CS Degree

This is not saying one is better than the other. Some people would prefer tech support over looking at code all day, even if the pay is lower. The most important factor is what makes you happy.

I’m entirely new to all this and I’m so glad I came across your video, thank you so much !

Glad you kept this video up. Very informational. I'm looking to get my B.S in IT, but I want to focus on Data analysis. However, I didn't choose to major in Data science, because I'm kind of torn between cyber security.

Thank you for laying out the differences between Computer Science and Information Technology. I recently graduated highschool and I'm thinking about going to the technology field but I don't want to do high leveled math that's included in Computer Science. But, I feel like I'm able to do information technology with enough practice and research.

[JoshuaOforibika]

What an awesome video have been admitted into the course though just quite confused though since i wanted computer science but couldn't get i option for information technology and from what you have said it is not a bad course

[missnaa]

Thanks. I was confused and this is so informational and educative

[bririchardson]

You are so cute and helpful! This video is super informative thank you!

[passportbro]

Great video seriously, made me even more determined.

[meheresha]

Thank you!
Well i wanted to know that
I’m not good or i can say I’m not that interested in math. And I’ve chosen IT.
So will this create any problem for me?

[ebecerra]

Awesome! Thank you so much for the facts; personal path; tips and overall explanation of the differences! Great internship with ServiceNow. I use it with Workday everyday Data Administration Human Capital Management (HR). What would you recommend is a good path to combine business and IT/Information Systems?

[danielkusi]

I`m really terrible when it comes to mathematics, should i major in IT.

[thu]

There are concentrations to choose from at the IT BS program in my school (15-24 credits) I’m wondering which concentration did you choose? Did you have prior IT knowledge before starting your bachelor’s degree?

[balkajian]

if i wnna continue cybersecurity should i go with IT or CS? or we have bachelor in cybersecurity?
