With Concordia's master's degree programs, taking the next step enables one to take on more responsibility and make a greater impact.

One of the best ways to reach your career goals is with a master’s degree. Not only will you be able to improve your skills and knowledge in your field of study, but you’ll gain a credential that consistently demonstrates its value. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

  • The median annual wage for full-time workers ages 25 and over whose highest degree was a master’s degree was $68,000, compared with $56,000 for those with a bachelor’s degree. That’s a $12,000 (18 percent) per year wage premium.
  • Master’s degree wage premiums for several major occupations were even more pronounced. For instance, in business, financial managers had a $32,000 (41 percent) premium, while securities, commodities and financial services sales agents topped the list with an $80,000 (89 percent) premium. In education, elementary and middle school teachers had an $11,900 (28 percent) premium, while education administrators topped the list with a $23,000 (44 percent) premium.
  • The job outlook for careers that require a master’s degree is growing faster than any educational level. Employment in master’s-level occupations is expected to grow nearly 17 percent by 2026.
