Program Description:
 
This curriculum is designed to prepare students seeking employment in business and for those who are already employed and who wish to upgrade their skills.

After completing the program and obtaining employment, students often elect to continue their education by working towards a bachelor’s degree on a part-time basis at a four-year college/university in the area.

All students are required to complete all of the core courses and the courses listed in at least one option area. Students may elect to complete more than one area of concentration, but the completion of all courses in one area is required. Courses are listed in a suggested sequence, although taking courses in a different sequence is perfectly acceptable. Students are encouraged to consider pursuing an Internship to fulfill all or part of the three-credit program elective requirement. While students are responsible for finding their own internship experience, prior approval must be obtained from the department chair before pursuing an internship for credit.
