Hello,

I am finishing up an associate degree in computer technology, over the last two years I have also been working as an assistant network administrator for a medium sized company. I wish to turn this job into a career. I am looking at different colleges to earn a BAS in Computer Information Technology would this be more suitable for me career goals, compared to earning a BAS Computer Science?

Thanks,

Tyler

All you really have to do is look at the curriculum to answer your question. Computer Science degress tend to lean heavily towards programming. Computer Information Technology (or other similar programs tend to lean more towards using technology and networking principles.

Every college seems to liberally use the terms that describe their degrees. As Tim said, take a look at the curriculum and judge which program and/or college may or may no giv eyou what you want in that position. You're very lucky to have such a position coming out of college, with that experience as well. Good job!
