A recent report from the Public Policy Institute of California predicted that nearly 50 percent of workers will need a bachelor's degree to meet expected economic demands over the next two decades.

To help address this need and provide students with the skills necessary to take advantage of expected employer demand, Touro University in Vallejo is offering a bachelor of science degree in business and management, with concentrations in global business and strategy management, security and risk management or health-care management, beginning January 2010.

This new upper division program is designed for college juniors seeking a baccalaureate or students who have earned an associate's degree or equivalent. Candidates can apply for classes starting in January (spring semester) or May (summer semester). Financial aid is available.

To explain more about this degree, Touro is hosting two information nights from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 15, at Landers Hall on the school's Mare Island campus, 1310 Johnson Lane, Vallejo.
