2001-2002 Catalog
Business Administration
(Insurance Management) (2216)
Associate in Science or Associate in Applied
Science
The insurance management program’s objective is to provide students
with the necessary coursework that can lead to profitable and rewarding
careers in the insurance industry – life, health, property and casualty.
Emphasis is placed on job preparation for affiliation with insurance agencies
and home office operations. Jacksonville, the “Insurance Capital
of the South,” offers great opportunity to qualified associate in
science degree insurance graduates.
Courses are made available to those individuals already employed for career
advancement opportunities. These include Chartered Life Underwriters (CLU),
Accredited Advisor in Insurance (AAI) and Insurance Institute of America
(IIA). Courses leading to licensing requirements for property and casualty
general agents, customer representatives and adjusters are also available.
The program manager 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. 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 articulation 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.
