NPA Pillars of Career Growth - Higher Education

The Network Professional Association supports IT/Network professionals through the NPA Pillars of Professionalism, Ethics, and Career Growth. Within the Career Growth Pillar, Higher Education is a major supporting pillar.

Employers are interested in candidates with college degrees that show a breadth of education and understanding in technology and business related areas. Among schools of higher education, there exists a diverse range of degree programs that can showcase your interests, knowledge, and skills for potential employers and business partners.

Business Technology, Computer Science, and Information Systems degrees are a powerful way to call attention to your interests and expertise. Employers look for education as validation that you have a strong foundation and are prepared to develop, even challenged, to meet their expectations for you. The following list of higher education programs have been suggested by your fellow NPA Members.
