Master’s Degree Programs in Connecticut
Connecticut is a little state with a big population—more than 3 million in fact—and the health care industry in the state will need to ensure highly-educated individuals are available to provide health care leadership and services to this population. Contributing to this need is the fact that Connecticut has a higher percentage of the elderly in its population than most other states, and this population generally has more health needs, creating demand for quality health care administrative & supervisory staff, higher level nurses and related jobs. Opportunities could be found in Derby at Griffin Hospital, which was named in 2008 as one of Fortune magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For. You also may encounter opportunities at Danbury Hospital, Hartford Hospital or the St. Francis Care (a major teaching hospital), three of the largest health care employers in the state, according to JobBank USA. About 91,560 people were employed in careers as health care practitioners and technicians in Connecticut as of May 2008. The average yearly salary of those in these professions was $74,700.
