Radford expands health-care, cybersecurity and entrepreneurship studies

The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that, due to the aging population, health-care professions will grow faster than any other occupational group through at least 2026.

Virginia Business, Tim Thornton speaks with Radford University President Brian Hemphill,

“One of the things important to us as we think about the vision for Radford University is becoming a premiere innovative university in the commonwealth of Virginia and beyond, with a focus on teaching, research and service, and to bring that vision to life, to make sure that we are positioning the institution properly and making a difference.”

 

– Brian Hemphill, President of Radford University

Computer science, particularly cybersecurity, is another growing field Radford is concentrating on.

“According to the governor’s office a year or so ago, there were 17,000 unfilled positions in cybersecurity in Virginia alone,”
