Information technology as a specialized industry is taking off with great career opportunities awaiting candidates with the right mix of credentials. Starting or completing your bachelor’s degree in information technology can be a big investment of both time and money; however, you will receive a big payoff in the future because college graduates are more likely to see increased earning potential and better job placement outcomes than those professionals who enter the job market with just a high school diploma. Scholarships can help alleviate the cost of college tuition, and King University accepts various forms of financial aid for our online information technology degree, including scholarships.
