Colorado Springs, CO, February 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Colorado Technical University (CTU), a leading provider of education to career-motivated students, has launched four new online degree concentrations in computer science and information technology.
The programs include a master of science in computer science degree, with three different concentrations: computer systems security, database systems and software engineering. CTU also launched a new online bachelor’s degree in information technology with a concentration in web development.
All four degrees are available nationally online, making the courses accessible anytime and anywhere for busy students and professionals. The three master of science degree concentrations are also available at select ground schools through the CTU Institute for Advanced Studies. CTU Denver and CTU Colorado Springs offer all three; CTU Sioux Falls offers the computer systems security and software engineering concentrations.
“We are committed to continually providing our students with career-relevant degree programs that can help pave the way for professional success in a range of industries,” said Dr. Wallace Pond, chief executive officer for CTU. “These four new online degree concentrations, all of which address the growing fields of computer science and information technology, demonstrate our dedication to developing programs and curricula to meet the demand of today’s students and business environment.”
The online degree offerings include:

The U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a high demand at the national level for managers proficient in computer security issues and notes that companies will increasingly hire security experts to fill key leadership roles in their IT departments. Local employment markets may vary. Students enrolled in this degree program will learn about operating systems and networking, computer system architecture and software system engineering processes -- all with a focus on maintaining computer systems security.
- Master of science in computer science - database systems. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of database administrators is expected to grow by 20 percent nationwide from 2008 to 2018, but local market conditions may vary. This program’s core curriculum provides students and IT professionals with the skills necessary to effectively analyze, design, implement and optimize complex databases.
