Business Administration Career,
A.S. Degree
Program Design
The Business Administration Career program prepares graduates for employment
as management trainees and for entry level positions in banks, insurance
companies and governmental agencies. It is a general business program
requiring students to take courses in accounting, business law, economics,
management and corporation finance.
Although many courses in this program may be transferred, it is possible that
they will transfer only as electives. Students planning to earn a bachelor’s
degree should register in the Accounting and Business Administration Transfer
Program.
This program is of considerable benefit to employed students looking for professional
development or students who hold degrees in unrelated areas and
are looking for a career specialty or career change.
