I.T Degrees

teksource1984 · 2010-04-08 15:13:27

Fellas, I see that a lot of I.T jobs require a formal degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering or M.I.S. What options do I have to fulfill this goal ? im very leery of pursuing those online degrees from Western Grovenors, ITT, University of Phoenix. Does one have to get a degree ? what if you don't ?…

while cs has dev work in it for sure, there can be theoretical tracks to it (and lots o math/sci -- schools handle this diff). you dont have to do compiler design/os design if you have other options allowed if you want to keep dev aspects minimal. much of cs (for me anyways) was designed around concepts and theory. you got shown diff langs, however those were at lower levels.

roughest class i took was: cmsc 452 Elementary Theory of Computation

at the time i thought computers could do anything. this class i struggled to believe for a bit... not sure how this class may have been offered at another school...

GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!
