2000-2001 Catalog
Business Administration and Management (2213)
The two-year business administration and management program is designed to prepare students for advancement in the business profession. The emphasis of the course selections is on business courses with five General Education Requirements. It is important to note that this program is not intended to be a substitute for the four-year business administration program.
The program manager or department chairperson, with the approval of the instructional dean, may require additional courses or make substitutions required to meet the needs of students.
NOTE: Students have two degree alternatives in this program: The associate in science (A.S.) and the associate in applied science (A.A.S.). If you intend to pursue further education at the university level, you should enroll in the A.S. option. The A.S. guarantees your admission with junior standing into one of the state’s public universities. If you intend to go directly to work after completing your associate’s degree, consider the A.A.S. While the A.A.S. will not provide you with the transfer benefits of the A.S., the A.A.S. will provide you with the skills required to begin working in the field immediately upon graduation. If you are unsure of which option is best for you, please see an advisor for further counseling.
