Where are the most affordable online MBAs in Information Technology?

With technology now playing such an important role in every realm of modern business, it has never been a better time to consider a career in Information and Technology. Organizations across the globe rely heavily on computer-related systems when it comes to communication technologies, information systems, software, security, and financial transactions. With so much riding on an organization's ability to remain current in our technological age, it is no wonder that careers in Information and Technology will continue to grow at a rate of 15% in the coming years, high above the national average.

Besides a very low average of unemployment in this sector, professionals in IT will also enjoy a high salary potential to go along with the ever-expanding pool of job opportunities being created each year. "Employment growth will result from the need to bolster cybersecurity in computer and information systems used by businesses. Industries such as retail trade will work to implement more robust security policies as cyber threats increase. A number of jobs in this occupation are expected to be created in the healthcare industry, which is aggressively implementing information technology. This industry is expected to greatly increase information technology (IT) use, resulting in job growth. In the insurance carriers industry, employment of IT managers is projected to grow 26 percent."
