In an increasingly competitive job market, students are realizing that a graduate degree can help make them even more employable, earn a better wage, and secure a rewarding career.  In fact, a recent study at Georgetown University reveals that a master’s degree is worth $457,000 more than a bachelor’s degree in career earnings.  Moreover, jobs that require a master’s degree are expected to grow by nearly 22% through 2020.  As you plan your future, consider what an MA in Professional Communication can do for you.  Whether it’s right now or in the future, whether it’s online or face-to-face, this program could be the difference between a good job and great career.  Check out the details at www.suu.edu/hss/comm/masters/ and contact Professor Matt Barton, the Graduate Director: 435-586-7970; bartonm@suu.edu.
