Additionally, our information technology bachelor’s degree consists of 8-week courses with no set login times. This means you won’t need to log in at specific times for lectures – and you can complete each course in half the time it normally takes to complete a course on-campus.

Even better, you won’t need to wait until the beginning of the traditional school year to start your degree! Our online programs are offered over the course of 3 semesters (spring, summer, and fall) with 8 different start dates each year, so you can start pursuing your degree whenever you’re ready.

As you research various information technology degree programs, you may have noticed that some schools require work experience or IT certifications for admission. While these are valuable assets that can help you move upward in your field and pursue positions of added responsibility, we recognize that not everyone has the opportunity to accumulate real-world experience and certifications before pursuing their bachelor’s degree.

At Liberty, you won’t need to complete a certain amount of professional experience or earn certifications before enrolling in our information technology online degree. That way, whether you’re a seasoned professional or an applicant with little to no experience, our informational technology degree can meet you where you are and help you gain the skills you need for your career. Additionally, this program can help you pursue various IT certifications – so you can further boost your résumé and increase your marketability.
