The company looked at employment levels 10 years after students graduated. Zippia said it limited its analysis to the 37 public and nonprofit, four-year colleges in Tennessee that provide at least a bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p>Tusculum offers more than 70 majors and areas of study in the undergraduate program. This includes a new marketing concentration and recently established minors in management, entrepreneurship and economics with the Bachelor of Arts in <a href=\"https:\/\/web.tusculum.edu\/academics\/programs\/business\/\">business administration<\/a> program. On the graduate program side, Tusculum began offering the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.tusculum.edu\/academics\/programs\/masa\/\">Masters of Arts in Sport Administration<\/a> degree this fall in addition to multiple programs that have been in place for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Students have access to a robust <a href=\"https:\/\/web.tusculum.edu\/career\/\">career services<\/a> program at Tusculum, such as videos, career assessments, career advising, workshops, job fairs, job shadowing, internships and tips for developing resumes and cover letters. The career services program also encourages students to develop a four-year plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany students have distinguished themselves after graduation and served as an example for those who follow them as Pioneers,\u201d Dr. Nelson said. \u201cWe also have a hard-working and dedicated student body today that is not only focused on their studies but also on service to the community.
