Students interested in a career as a software applications developer, database administrator, or computer systems analyst may consider studying information technology management. Coursework typically includes learning about computer hardware and software, cybersecurity, and the development of computer applications.

An undergraduate certificate bridges the gap between a bachelor’s and master’s degree. It typically does not take as much time, since there are fewer courses, and little to no research is required. Students should consult their prospective school for information regarding the length of a program.
