Doctor of Information Technology

If you are contemplating earning a Ph.D. in Information Technology, Alderson Broadus University should be your first choice. Only 2% of the workforce in the United States has an earned Ph.D.

In addition, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has identified that the unemployment rate for individuals with a Ph.D. is 1.5%. Therefore, earning a Ph.D. helps to improve your advantage in the job market.

Earning a Ph.D. degree also produces higher salaries than master’s and bachelor’s degree holders. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, people with advanced degrees earn a median weekly salary of $1,885. Master’s and bachelor’s degree holders earn $1,545 and $1,305, respectively.
