In order to remain valuable in a competitive job market, current professionals can benefit from enhancing their skills through a masters degree program. Those who take advantage of these opportunities may be able to avoid quitting their jobs by enrolling in web-based programs.
Recently, Kaplan University launched online masters degrees specializing in environmental policy, homeland security and emergency management.
Those who pursue an education in environmental policy will learn about many factors that contribute to the success of sustainability, including legal studies as well as social, business, economic and political considerations. Completing this program will prepare students for a variety of jobs, including environmental efficiency specialists, sustainable purchasing administrators, environmental specialists or grant writers.
Students enroll in the homeland security and emergency management program will be qualified for careers at the local, state and federal government level. Future degree holders will be trained to work in border and transportation control, homeland security, hazard management, emergency administration as well as emergency preparedness and response.
These programs have been "designed to provide a solid, real-world education for adults who want to advance their careers and take an active role in improving safety and sustainability," said Christopher Caywood, president of legal education at Kaplan. He added that obtaining these degrees can "help students meet their unique needs and take their careers to the next level."
