Capella Jumps Into The Hottest Job Areas in Education, Elder Care and Security

Want a hot tip on which online degrees will get you the good jobs? Just take a look at where Capella University, a major Minneapolis-based online school, is adding to their specialized degree programs. The school has just announced new degree specializations  in Gerontology (as part of the school’s Master of Science in Human Services) and Early Childhood Education (under Capella’s Education Master’s program). The reason is simple: there is currently huge demand all across the country for people who know how to care for older adults and teachers who know how to work with pre-kindergarten kids. The education degree can make sense for you if you’re a currently licensed teacher who wants to become specialized in early childhood learning, an area where more and more states are requiring specialized training. Other hot areas that Capella is moving into include Homeland Security and Security Management, a degree for people who want leadership roles in the private security business.
