Information technology is a career that is expanding, particularly in the health care arena. An online information technology degree program is one way to become part of an occupational sector that is growing at an 18% rate through 2014 (according to the U S Bureau of Statistics). Federal mandates regarding privacy and electronic record keeping in health care are driving the growth in this area. Of course the business world has the need for information security as well. Many colleges and universities are offering online associates, bachelors, and masters degrees in the science of information technology with specialties in networking, information systems security, desktop operations, and Internet systems development.
