Posted by in Uncategorized Oct 10th, 2007

Because computer science is so conducive to the online learning environment, a lot of virtual colleges offer these programs. Now, Ars Technica reports that people with computer science degrees have increased their earning potential.

Here's a blurb:

"…Given the massive drop-off in the number of comp-sci students and the robust growth of IT in the US, the inevitable has now happened: computer science degrees are now worth some serious cash.

A recent study of post-college careers from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (also noted by the Chronicle) found that computer-science grads saw their average starting salary offers grow by 4.5 percent last year alone. The new average salary for a job right out of college is now $53,051. That's the highest amount this decade."
