Business Administration
Business Administration (Associate in
Science Degree)
The business
administration degree and courses are designed to prepare students for
work in either profit or not-for-profit organizations in the 21st century.
Rapid changes in organizations are continuing to change the nature of
work. This rapid pace of change will continue to provide many people
in organizations with opportunities for challenging jobs. With reductions
in the number of middle managers, many workers' jobs become more interesting
as organizations provide opportunities for planning, working with others,
developing new ideas, and implementing new concepts. Business courses
are designed to prepare students for this exciting and challenging work
environment. The business
administration degree provides students with the flexibility to pursue
personal interests. Students completing the degree may choose to transfer
to a four-year college, move immediately into work, or combine work
with further education. Business faculty are available to discuss course
and career planning and strongly encourage students to seek out this
counsel.
