The need for computer and information technologists has grown as technology advances and becomes more integrated into daily life.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of computer and information technology occupations to grow much faster than the national average from 2023 to 2033. Additionally, the annual median salary was $104,420 in May 2023. Here in Detroit, the city experienced 26% job growth in the tech space over a three-year span (2016-18), largely driven by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation in manufacturing. According to a recent Detroit Regional Chamber report, Tech workers in Detroit earn an estimated median wage of $90,215, which is double the median wage of all other occupations in the region.
Wayne State can help you hit the ground running in this fast-moving field. Our undergraduate computer science program offers an innovative education focused on fundamentals while emphasizing new technologies. This ensures that graduates are well-prepared to transition from college to career. Moreover, numerous global industry leaders, many located just down the street from the university, consistently seek to hire Wayne State computer science graduates.
I chose Wayne State University for its renowned Computer Science department, stellar academic reputation, and diverse campus community. The university's commitment to fostering research opportunities, its advantageous location in Detroit's tech hub, and the strong alumni network were additional compelling factors.
