This program is designed to provide business and management skills to individuals
who have already obtained an Associate in Applied Science degree in a technical
discipline. Combined with a technical degree, this degree will prepare graduates
to assume leadership and supervisory roles within organizations. While designed
as a third-year option, this program is adaptable to full-time workers who may
not be able to attend campus on a full-time basis. All courses are
available online.
Students will take classes in the general business areas of accounting, business law, marketing, management, sales and organizational behavior. Students will also take required classes in math and public speaking. These courses are essential in well-rounded front-line or middle-level supervisors.
