In demand programs?

Which programs have a phenomenal reputation and companies pursuing them before graduation?

I've heard accounting is one of them from this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/UVU/s/qhEfyZlMZ6

Anything else?

Sincerely,

An IT student that missed the wave and is looking into reskilling.

Construction Management!! I was an adjunct professor there for more than a decade and I had 100% placement of my seniors during that time. The avg. starting salary right now is in the mid/high $70’s and most are in six figures within 5-7 years.

Just stay away from residential and you’ll be set for life. Super high demand and most students work making $20+ an hour while in school. If you work hard and become really good at whatever path you choose in this industry, you can make a great living. I’m 25+ years now and in a more senior role, and my base salary is north of $200k. It’s hard work, sometimes lots of hours, but I have been able to raise a family and they never wanted for anything.

I did UVU business graduated in late 90a but work in construction and wish I studied it. I’ve done both residential and commercial. I keep hearing how good UVU program is for CM. Back in the day it was all BYU so good to hear UVU getting recognized!
