Business Management

The Business Management Program provides training for students in entry-level, administrative positions in the private sector. The program also offers courses that may be transferred to a baccalaureate program, thereby allowing the option of further study for the bachelor’s degree in Business Management. Candidates for the Associate in Science degree will be given substantial exposure to the field of administrative management. Functional areas in business are covered by courses in the principles of management, finance, marketing, and accounting. In addition, students will be given a strong grounding in legal aspects of business activity. Students will become familiar with basic concepts and applications of data processing to business problems. Courses have been selected so that transfers within the Department are possible between the A.S. in Business Management and the A.A.S. programs in Accounting, should a student elect to change within the first two semesters of study. MAT 120 Introduction to Probability and Statistics is required for all students who are candidates for the A.S. degree in Business Management.
