Choose from a pre-set career theme below.

Public Sector Leadership

Public Administration, Mass Communication and Sociology Minors

Effective and ethical leadership is needed for all types of organizations. Being a public service leader requires knowing how to communicate a vision, think strategically, solve problems, and adapt an organization to complex social and economic change.

Cybercrime 

Computer Science, Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice Minors

One of the most rapidly growing social problems is that communication technology has made consumers and vital information more available and vulnerable to criminal misuse. There are a variety of careers, from crime prevention to information security to crime education, incorporated in this theme of study.

Social Marketing

Business, Mass Communication, and Computer Science or Sociology Minors

Communication technology has increased access to consumer behavior, allowing marketers to analyze their buying patterns and selectively market products like never before. Combining these minors will enable students to take the first step towards various careers in this area.

Career Training 

Psychology, Sociology and Business Minors

Organizations constantly bring in new employees and need to integrate them into workgroups, train, motivate, and reward them. Being responsible for this training means knowing not just how the organization runs but what can set someone on a career path toward working with a company’s most important product – its people.

Community Security

Criminal Justice, Forensic Psychology, Sociology or Mass Communication Minors 

An essential benefit of belonging to any community – company, campus, town, or club – is not only belonging but feeling and being secure. Careers in this area explore designing crime prevention, recognizing criminal behavior, enhancing safety and security procedures, improving communication to the public, and collaboration with law enforcement.

Social Analysis 

Mathematics, Criminal Justice, and Psychology or Sociology Minors

Some of the most critical information is not immediately obvious. It takes careful social and sometimes statistical analysis to reveal patterns that tell an organization what direction to proceed or what actions to take. The challenge may be how to reduce shoplifting in a large grocery store, increase enrollment at a small college, or improve a company’s image in the local community. Having the analytical and interpretive skills to collect and make use of hidden information is marketable in various careers, from advertising to politics.
