Program Analysis
While the career paths for this major can seem abstract, your strong earnings potential at ASU comes from a very concrete reality. You’re not just studying theory; you’re situated in the massive, diverse Phoenix metro area, a hub for corporations, government agencies, and non-profits all grappling with the real-world applications of your degree. Companies like Intel and major healthcare systems have huge workforces and need expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and human resources. This degree provides the critical thinking and cultural competency that makes you a prime candidate for those roles, often after pairing it with a business or communications minor. Your key move is to gain professional experience before graduating. Seek out internships with a local non-profit, a state agency in Phoenix, or a corporate HR department to translate your academic knowledge into the practical skills employers are hiring for.
