In September, the U.S. News and World Report published a list of 9 Hot College Majors. According to writer Christopher Gearon, the majors on the list were developed in the last 5 to 10 years because of new technology or business practices, or because the field has seen a recent increase in the demand for workers.
Anthem Education schools and colleges offer career-focused training programs in a variety of fields. Two of the majors on the list correspond with programs offered at some of our schools: Health Information Management and Web & New Media Design.
Number 4: Health Information Management
“The need is huge for professionals who can help acquire, manage, and use information to improve health and manage payments.”
Students can earn an associate degree in Health Information Management at Anthem College Online and Anthem College-Atlanta. The Atlanta campus also offers a Health Information Management Diploma. These programs prepare students to compete for entry-level positions in doctor’s offices, clinics, hospitals, surgical centers, and related businesses.
At the Atlanta campus, students take clinical and administrative courses. Classes cover topics such as human body support and systems, medical terminology, billing and coding, and information technologies. Students must also participate in two externships before graduating.
The Health Information Management program at Anthem College Online provides flexible learning for busy students. One of the highlights of the program is a capstone course that uses a simulated medical office where students can practice their skills.
Number 8: New Media
“Colleges are offering a slew of variations under the New Media umbrella, combining traditional journalism or communications studies with digital media and design.”
Anthem Institute-Cherry Hill and Anthem Institute-Springfield recently rolled out a new Web & New Media Design program. The program is designed to give students the skills and knowledge they need to create attractive and effective websites.
In this program, students will get hands-on using industry-standard technologies to design and create websites and webpages. They will learn web scripting and database design for the web. They will also learn key skills for project planning, producing, and managing websites.
