(Management) (A213)
The Business Administration program prepares
students for employment or advancement in the business profession.
The course selections emphasize a business foundation along with
the opportunity to focus in marketing or management. Career opportunities
in marketing, sales, management, team leadership and supervisory
roles exist in practically every industry. This business degree
will be a proud highlight on your resume and one that will give
you a competitive edge in your career pursuits. This program is
a door opener to a wide world of opportunities in marketing, sales,
management, team leadership, and supervisory positions in large
companies or small businesses in practically every industry.
The curriculum in the associate in applied science (A.A.S.) degree
program in business administration differs slightly from the curriculum
in the associate in science (A.S.) degree program. The A.A.S.
program is intended primarily for students who desire to complete
an associate's degree and become immediately employed.
Technical certificates are included as options within this degree
program. Students may choose to pursue an A.A.S. degree and earn
technical certificates while completing the requirements for the
degree, or pursue one or more certificate programs to develop
or upgrade their skills in a particular field. Contact an advisor
or counselor to determine the career education path that is best
for you. Students may complete a degree in only one of the two
specialty tracks, Management or Marketing. Students who wish to
add a second area of specialization after completing a degree
should pursue the technical certificate in that area.
This program is accredited by the Association
of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
