Students who take courses in computer technology can develop skills in a variety of areas related to electronics and software. Common classes may include electronic spreadsheets, computer operating systems, networking, computer applications in the business environment, graphical applications, word processing and databases.

An Associate of Arts degree is the stepping-stone for many students. After focusing on a field of study for two years at a vocational, technical, or community college, students can go onto finding better careers or earning a higher degree.
