Miller-Motte College Offers New Bachelor of Science Degrees in IT and Healthcare Management To Online Students

Programs Are Part Of A 2023 Virtual Catalog Expansion

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Miller-Motte College (MMC) has debuted online Bachelor of Science Degrees in IT Management and Healthcare Management to potential students across the country. According to a U.S. and World News report, Information Technology Managers rank #3 in Best Technology Jobs, have the lowest unemployment rates, and have above average upward mobility. And with cybersecurity threats on the rise, businesses are reexamining security measures, meaning IT management and services occupations will continue to thrive over the next several years with a predicted growth of 16% nationally.

The IT Management Bachelor of Science program helps prepare graduates for planning, coordinating, and directing computer-related activities in an organization. Students can learn about the role of IT managers, how to assist in determining the information technology goals of a business, and how to properly implement the appropriate computer systems to achieve those goals. Students who graduate from the program can apply for roles such as help desk analysts or managers, IT project managers, computer system analysts, network technicians, or network managers.

The Healthcare Management Bachelor of Science program helps prepare graduates to organize and oversee medical information and healthcare staff in medical practices, nursing homes, and hospitals. It also helps prepare graduates for entry-level employment as medical and health service managers  who work with technology that integrates electronic health records across areas of the healthcare industry.

In a separate report by U.S. and World News for Top Best Business Jobs, Medical and Health Services Manager earned a #1 placement. The role was evaluated based on Salary, Job Market, Stress-level, Work-Life Balance, and Future Growth, which is currently projected to grow at 28% nationally. The need for healthcare managers stems from the birth of more group practices and a retiring workforce, according to the report.
