Many of the current crop of IT managers do not have a formal education in technology or business because when they were in college there weren’t many programs aimed at training business technology leaders. That’s no longer the case. Today there are a variety of excellent IT programs at U.S. colleges and universities from coast to coast.

In order to help tomorrow’s IT leaders find the best programs, and to help today’s IT leaders find the best IT talent, TechRepublic has released a special report on theĀ Top 10 U.S. college programs for IT.
