ASIS International recently conducted a survey of its members to assess the impact of the current economic environment on the business continuity field. The results showed that even in challenging economic times, business continuity is a priority. More than 80% of those surveyed stated that their department remained stable or experienced growth during the same time period in which national unemployment rates increased to over 8%.
Business continuity has entered mainstream corporate practice and the growth in this industry will require professionals to stay current with the latest trends and best practices. Statistics show that during an economic recession, a master's degree dramatically increases the odds of stable employment.
The business continuity manager today must combine many different talents, from risk management and security to organizational management and developing business systems. The Norwich University Master of Science in Business Continuity Management program was created to develop leaders in the field of business continuity. You will be able to develop, implement, and test continuity programs that reduce the likelihood of a business disruption as you develop the skills needed to effectively communicate with leaders in your organization and effect organizational change.

I wish to move beyond my current self-taught, commercial, seminar-based approach to a more comprehensive, degree-based education from an accredited institution where the result is a graduate degree, not a certificate of completion. The credentials associated with a master's degree from Norwich University will lend credibility and attest to the new level of professional competence and proficiency I will have achieved.
