Colleges and universities in Los Angeles are ready to help meet the city's need for top-level IT graduates. Pepperdine University, a private school, offers programs in computer science and multimedia design. California State University offers degrees in information systems, computer science, and electrical and computer engineering, while the Los Angeles Ort Technical Institute, a professional school, brings to the table a technical program, computer graphics program, and a computer aided design CAD and drafting program. Programs to fit computer students in Los Angeles are as unique as the students themselves.

There is considerable strength in the computer and information technology sectors of Los Angeles. Computer and mathematical occupations currently employ more than 86,000 workers, and are projected to experience an 18.2% increase between 2002 and 2012, adding 15,730 jobs. Computer support specialists should grow 19.1% in demand in that time frame, employing 17,810 technology experts. Computer applications engineers will also increase, by a projected 15.8%, with 2,850 jobs added over that period. With these healthy numbers considered, it's hard to imagine how a computer graduate could go wrong in choosing Los Angeles.
