Contract Management and Acquisitions Management Degrees: General Info
Companies use contracts to make purchases and acquisitions, finalize sales, hire employees and perform many other types of business. Professionals who specialize in contracts, purchases and acquisitions management are trained in law, public policy, communications, negotiating, psychology and general business skills. Most contract professionals hold at least a bachelor's degree in business or management. A master's degree, like an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree, is preferable and may lead to additional career opportunities. Many contracts professionals also earn a law degree, known as a Juris Doctorate, or JD, to help them fully understand the legal ramifications of contracts, purchases and acquisitions.
