What Can You Do With a Information Technology Degree?

Keep the systems, networks, and data that organizations run on secure and working. We track 8 careers that a Information Technology degree commonly leads to, with median pay from $80,000 to $132,270 depending on the role and how far you take it.

How these numbers work: A major does not have its own salary. The pay above comes from the 8 careers below that a Information Technology degree commonly leads to, using each one's national median wage from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Entry-level roles sit toward the bottom of that range and advanced or graduate-level roles toward the top, so where you land depends on the specific career and any further education.
