Office Administration
The Office Administration Curriculum prepares individuals for positions in
administrative support careers. It equips office professionals to respond to
the demands of a dynamic computerized workplace.
Students will complete courses designed to develop proficiency in the use of
integrated software, oral and written communication, analysis and
coordination of office duties and systems, and other support topics.
Emphasis is placed on non-technical as well as technical skills.
Graduates should qualify for employment in a variety of positions in
business, government, and industry. Job classifications range from entrylevel
to supervisor to middle management.
Because the use of computers is integral to this curriculum, some courses
are delivered in an online format.
