The best way to learn computer programming is by getting educated right. This is especially important if you are looking to make a career change or advance your skills in your current career. While beginning coding may seem easy, you will need a solid foundation in IT, as well as specialized courses that are generally only found in an academic setting to help you grow your career.
At a university, trained faculty can help assist you through complex issues and help prepare you for real-world career settings. They can also help you narrow down any specialties you would like to focus on, such as software development, web programming, or mobile app design.
In addition to providing you a broad education in IT fundamentals, a bachelor’s degree in computer science can also help prepare you for supervisory or managerial positions as you gain more experience.
Computer science offers a variety of career options for people who enjoy technology, creativity and problem solving. We are here to help when you are ready to take the first step.

BLS pay estimates calculate the median annual wage for various occupations. Per the BLS the median wage for an occupation is: "The wage at which half of the workers in the occupation earned more than that amount, and half earned less. Median wage data are from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey." Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook 2024. BLS median wage estimates do not represent entry-level wages and/or salaries. Multiple factors, including prior experience, age, geographic market in which you want to work, and degree level and field, will affect career outcomes, including starting salary and earnings as an experienced employee. Herzing neither represents that its graduates will earn the median salaries calculated by BLS for a particular job nor guarantees that graduation from its program will result in a job, promotion, particular wage or salary, or other career growth.
