Administration, which prepares you for immediate employment as a highly skilled

you’ll learn to work with office budgets, spreadsheets, and human resources issues.
The program includes customer service and business communications fundamentals.
Technical certificates are included as options within this degree program: Office Support, Office Specialist and Office Management.
