Looking for an academic direction with terrific growth potential? Some traditional fields are newly hot at the bachelor's level; in other cases, enterprising colleges are creating new majors in emerging fields. Here are some hot majors you might want to consider.
正在你寻找专业方向又担心潜在的威胁?有些传统专业领域在本科阶段是受欢迎的。从另一方面来说，有目标的大学在新发展的领域内设立了专业。以下的几类专业就是你值得考虑的热门专业：
1. Biomedical engineering: The folks standing at the intersection of the life sciences, engineeringand medicine are working on such advances as an artificial kidney to help 2 million people worldwide give up their dependency on dialysis, and "designer" blood clots created from artificial platelets to save wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
1. 生物医学工程：在生命科学，工程和医学领域交界工作的人掌握着最先进的技术，如帮助全世界两百多万走出透析的痛苦，开发除了人工肾，从血栓中制造出血小板拯救战场上的伤兵。
2. Biometrics: This field teaches students how to build automated identification devices, such as facial recognition systems. As biometric readers replace photo IDs and passwords in both the public and private sectors, the industry is expected to grow to $363 million by 2018, according to New York-based Transparency Market Research.
2. 生物测定学：这一领域教会学生如何构建自动分辨设备，如人脸识别系统。正如生物测定学用户把照片ID和密码放到公共或者私人领域，根据纽约市场调查，到2018年止这一行业要创造出363，000，000的收入。
3. Forensic science: More experts are needed to operate the new, sophisticated tools to prevent and investigate crimes. Forensic science focuses on using technology to analyze evidence. Students should expect "tons of math and science, plus learning to interface with the criminal justice system," says Timothy Palmbach, chair of the forensic science department at the University of New Haven.
3. 司法科学：很多专家都需要用最新最复杂的工具去组织隔阂调查犯罪。司法科学强调通过使用科学技术去分析证据，学生要具备“掌握大量数学和理科知识，并且学习相关的犯罪司法体系，”纽海芬大学司法科学部的主席Timothy Palmbach说道。
4. Computer game design: The global market for video and online games is expected to reach $82 billion by 2017, according to DFC Intelligence, a San Diego-based market research company.
4. 电脑游戏设计：全球对视频和网上游戏的市场需在2017年回答道820亿的收益。
5. Cybersecurity: Large companies and governments are moving aggressively to protect their computer systems. Between 2014 and 2016, the Pentagon plans to add more than 4,000 experts at its Cyber Command. Specialists in cybersecurity can also expect to find openings in health care, energy and at security services firms.
5. 网络安全：大公司和政府在全力地保护网络安全。在2014-2016年，五角大楼计划增加4000个专家到网络控制中去。网络安全的专家们会在医疗，能源和安全服务公司找到空缺。
6. Data science: The International Data Corp., a Massachusetts-based technology market research firm, says the global volume of computerized data is doubling every two years. This will help create some 4.4 million jobs worldwide by 2015, estimates Connecticut-based technology research firm Gartner Inc. Interested students should consider a major in data science or business analytics。
6. 数据科学：国际数据公司，是马塞诸色州一家技术市场调查的公司，据说全球的电脑数据每两年就翻一个倍。到2015年全球的工作机会将会增加4400000个工作岗位。
7. Business analytics: While closely related to data science, business analytics is primarily a business major, says Kenneth Gilbert, head of the department of statistics, operations and management science at the University of Tennessee, which launched a degree program in 2010. Courses include computer software, math, statistics and communication skills.
7. 商业分析：当谈到数据科学的时候，商业分析是密不可分的一个主要组成部分，Kenneth Gibert说道，他是田纳西大学数据运营及管理科学学院的院长，在2010年发布了一项研究项目。课程包括软件，数学，数据和交流技巧。
