Vienna, VA Degree Programs, Career Training and Technical Schools

Published: November, 2010

Located just 16 miles west of Washington, D.C., Vienna, Virginia is one of our national capital's many affluent suburbs. With a smaller population of 14,453, Vienna contributes to the Washington metro area's total population of over 5 million people. Washington, D.C. (550,521) contributes the largest population to this total.

In 2005, CNN Money ranked Vienna, VA fourth on the list of the "100 Best Places to Live in the US." Great schools, thriving small businesses, and excellent recreation are some of what help make Vienna such a desirable place to live. The income per capita in Vienna is $37,753, above the national average, like most Washington suburbs. Many people settle in Vienna for its proximity to Washington, D.C., and the educational and career opportunities available there.

The federal government drives the economy in Washington, which is predicted to grow near 60% by the year 2015. Politics, business, law, and criminal justice are some of the largest industries thriving in the Washington area. Earning a degree or certificate in criminal justice can be a great start to a career in law enforcement, and even lawmaking later in a career.

The biggest industries in the Washington metro area are:
  • Education
  • Telecommunications
  • Computer software
  • Business
  • Law

A degree in business can be good preparation for a career in management, or politics, at one of Washington's many political and policy organizations.
