DEGREE: ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE
DIVISION: BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY

The Business and Management Associate of Applied Science degree offers a wide variety of options to prepare students for successful careers in today’s economy. The program consists of a common core curriculum and several career-focused concentrations. All students majoring in Business and Management must take the courses in the core curriculum and choose one of the concentrations. Though not required, it is recommended that students begin with the core curriculum to determine which concentrations will best meet their needs and interests.

The program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), and is designed to train graduates to succeed in careers requiring a two-year degree.  While many of the courses do transfer to senior colleges, students planning to transfer immediately to senior colleges should meet with an academic advisor to determine the best course of study to meet their needs. Students may also consider the Business Administration Associate of Science degree program ; the goal of this program is transfer to a related program at a senior college.
