Business Administration, A.A.S.

Purpose

The Business Administration Program meets the needs of students who wish a broad overview of business and desire not to enroll in a specialized curriculum in business. The program is designed to acquaint students with major subject areas of business, to improve student’s business vocabulary, and to provide students with an understanding of influencing factors in business decision making and activities. While this program is not designed to transfer into a four-year program, there are some 2 + 2 articulation agreements in existence with several colleges/universities.

The full Business Administration Program is available online. Some courses may be offered at Campus locations. Check schedule for offerings.
