Career Outlook
While most industries are suffering from job lost, the IT PROFESSION ADDED JOBS in information systems design and IT management and consulting services, among others.**
Also, U.S. News & World Report posted a story declaring Librarian the Best Career in 2009, as well as Systems Analyst. The publication based its list of the top careers on the following criteria: job outlook, average job satisfaction, difficulty of required training, prestige, and pay.
Many iSchool related careers also made U.S. News' lists for "Ahead of the Curve Careers" and "Best-Kept-Secret Careers." And a New York Times story reported that the need for digital asset managers or digital librarians will likely triple in the next decade.
These are the jobs that SCHOOL OF INFORMATION STUDIES (iSchool) graduates fill every year. That’s why the iSchool has the HIGHEST reported starting SALARIES among all SU undergraduates and a nearly 100 PERCENT PLACEMENT RATE.
- iSchool students acquire the skills that employers call on before they make critical decisions regarding their global business strategies. In these uncertain economic times, knowledge of information systems is more important now than ever.
- iSchool students gain a fundamental understanding of the technology needed to run a company efficiently and effectively, and they develop the management know-how to communicate that to leadership with an organization.
- iSchool students are innovative and entrepreneurial, providing employers with new cost-saving and streamlining ideas.
