An IT bachelor's degree "provides a broad foundation in the systems that make modern life possible," according to VC editors, "giving students the opportunity to begin a career right out of the gate, or setting the stage for more advanced degrees, certifications, and specializations." Even though "technology is one of the highest-paying fields for workers without a bachelor's," a bachelor's degree still has its advantages: "Strong mentorship, access to the latest technology, internship opportunities, hands-on research, and a strong job market network are the features to look for in an IT degree program." Without a bachelor's, "Managerial and leadership positions may be out of reach, and even experienced professionals may not have the skills for more specialized roles." Value Colleges' rankings of the best IT bachelor's degrees "is dedicated to return on investment."
