Computer Programmer Career Coursework
Over half of computer programmers had a bachelor's degree or higher in 2000. Some held a degree in computer science, information systems, mathematics and others had taken courses in computer programming to supplement their study in fields like accounting and inventory control. Required skills vary from job to job, but demand for skills is driven by changes in technology.
Graduate degrees in related fields are required for some jobs. Most systems programmers hold a four-year degree in computer science. Extensive knowledge of a variety of operating systems is essential. Entry-level or junior programmers may work alone on simple assignments or on a team with more experienced programmers. Beginners are almost always closely supervised.
