Degrees Open Doors to Today’s Hot Jobs

Posted: 1/21/2011

As many as 98 percent of drivers consider it unacceptable for anyone to get behind the wheel when the person thinks he or she has had too much to drink.

Popular Master of Science degrees include Information Technology Management and Negotiation and Dispute Resolution.

(NAPSI) - In a tough economy, it makes even more sense to study employment trends and make your educational choices based on which job markets are growing and which ones are stagnating, which firms are hiring and which are shedding employees.

Today’s market trends have inspired some interesting choices when it comes to obtaining a degree:

• Information Technology Management. As businesses and organizations continue to turn to technology to improve performance and stay competitive, they need leaders who can manage processes, systems and people, as well as provide a global strategic perspective on potential applications and uses of IT.

A Master of Science in Information Technology Management is designed for IT professionals who want to move into these leadership roles.

• Negotiation and Dispute Resolution. In a time when it makes financial sense to avoid lawyer’s fees, more people are turning to mediators. It’s predicted to be among the fastest growing professions in the early decades of this century.

• Security Analysis and Portfolio Management. Investing is one of the more complex, competitive and rewarding areas in finance. A Master of Science in this subject delivers advanced knowledge about investment assessment, security analysis and portfolio management, which is critical to those seeking top jobs in the field.

• Health Care Ethics. New health care technology raises a variety of ethical questions.

Courses in Health Care Ethics, such as those given online by Creighton University, introduce students to the field of bioethics. Coursework focuses on a range of areas-from discerning ethical problems, ambiguities, controversies and assumptions in various health care practices, to synthesizing and communicating research findings on topics of ethical concern.

Schools such as Creighton University offer all these MS degrees online. Creighton was named the No. 1 Midwest University in U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges 2011.”

In addition, Creighton University is profiled in the 2011 edition of The Princeton Review’s “The Best 373 Colleges.”
