Letter from Department Chair for Prospective Students
1,181,000.....
“That’s how many U.S. software engineers will be needed by 2016, a 38 percent increase over 2006, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. A whopping 45 percent increase is expected for applications engineers, those directly involved with business units and computer programs. Betty Vandenbosch, the acting dean at Kaplan University’s School of Information Technology, says, “Applications positions grow faster because they promote innovation and efficiency. IT work may slow in 2009, but there will always be a need for projects that contribute to efficiency and/or are required by regulation.”
