“Through our ability to routinely gather data on job trends, wages and demographics, Broward College is able to better align our course offerings with the demands of the local workforce,” said Mildred Coyne, Broward College’s associate vice president for career and technical education. “In both of these fields, there has been steady growth, so we are excited to be able to offer these degrees and produce students who are well-prepared and trained to enter these growing and thriving sectors.”
Cybercrime is a cause for concern across the state and nation, which means that cybersecurity professionals are required to protect and safeguard business’ electronic infrastructure and information. The cybersecurity degree is designed to meet this need, while preparing students for employment opportunities as security professionals. Students will be eligible to sit for various industry certifications that are in high demand at the local, national, and global level. On average, cybersecurity professionals make high entry-level wages, earning more than $20/ hour. The technology project management degree is designed to provide the skills needed for a career as a supervisor, manager and project leader – particularly in the field of information technology. Project managers are responsible for coordination of complex projects that have time sensitive deadlines and budget constraints. Project management students will be eligible to sit for various industry certifications both during and following completion of the program.
“Our commitment to offer programs that connect education to workforce needs is truly reflected in these new degrees,” said David Shulman, president of Broward College Online. “With the addition of the cybersecurity and technology project management degrees, we are offering two in-demand, high-wage career pathways to our students.”
