Information Technology

 

Ever wonder how information and computers work together to help companies? Information Technology (IT) has as much to do with managing data as it does with computers, and IT jobs are spread across all types of businesses. Information is best supported by computer technology, and any company that uses computers in its day-to-day operations requires IT support. Employment in this field is expected to grow due to demand for the design, construction, and management of computer networks, web sites, security systems, and mobile technologies. IT jobs are growing occupations, and individuals can earn $50,000 to $70,000 per year in Arizona, depending on the IT field you choose.


The Maricopa Community Colleges offers a wide variety of courses, degrees, and certificates in information technology subjects including computer information systems, programming and systems analysis, web design and development, and web server administration. Training and certification programs are available in vendor-specific technologies such as Microsoft Office applications, Microsoft and Oracle database administration, and Cisco and Linux networking technology.
