About our Business Administration Associate Degree

The Business Administration program provides students with a foundation in general business practices, leadership concepts and microcomputer applications. In addition to acquiring skills in accounting, finance, sales and operations, students enhance their ability to write, think, work in groups, solve problems and build confidence and the ability to succeed in the world of business.

The Associate in Science degree emphasizes math, science and core business requirements. The sequence of courses comprises the typical transfer option that many baccalaureate programs prefer, deferring many upper-level business courses until the third or fourth year.
