Business Management


Business Management is one of the most widely valued degrees in the modern work environment, as it provides a solid grounding in many areas of business and is flexible enough to prepare graduates for employment in many different careers.

Many graduates will go on to work in a corporate environment, where a degree in business management will equip them with a clear understanding of the business structure and will help to adapt their work accordingly. Business graduates also often take on specific roles in management and marketing, and currently there is an increasing need for these types of skills in government, international commerce, healthcare, arts, and nonprofit organizations.  

In the modern job market, employers are increasingly seeking to find employees with the potential to contribute in multiple areas of the business - or who at least have an awareness of how their work can impact the rest of the organization. This awareness is something a business management degree indicates to them.

This curriculum will incorporate real-world scenarios and projects that will allow students to develop technical and non-technical skills that employers expect to see demonstration in new hires. The program will prepare students to enter an applied bachelors degree program, but will also be ideal for students who are currently employed and are looking for the knowledge and credentials to help advance within their organization.

Foundations


Foundations courses provide the footing for the remainder of the Associates Degree and beyond.  They provide the knowledge and skills upon which other courses will build.  Whether attending full or part time, plan to complete most if not all of Foundations prior to taking courses under Knowledge Building or Preparing for Completion.

Knowledge Building


Knowledge Building courses expand upon foundational learning and develop skills at a deeper level.  It is recommended that students complete these courses prior to moving forward to Preparing for Completion.

Preparing for Completion


These courses provide capstone knowledge and skills, which prepares students for their next steps.   Before beginning the third set of courses in this pathway, complete the Application for Graduation.  You should also meet with your coach/advisor to begin preparing applications for transfer.

Students may enhance their degree by completing any of the available 12 credit hour specializations listed below.  All courses listed must be successfully complete to earn the specialization.  Students not wanting to specialize may complete their 12 required elective hours by selecting any combination of courses from specialization areas.
