BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
The Business Administration Department offers a
variety of courses in business which allows a student to
comply with the lower-division requirements for transfer
to university level programs. Courses are also offered
which allow the student to prepare for career entry-level
positions and for upgrading of job skills for the already
career-oriented student.
The department offers two certificates: a Management
Certificate and Bookkeeping I Certificate. The
Certificates are designed for those students interested
in entering the field of business or for those who are
currently working and would like to upgrade their
business skills. Students completing the Management
Certificate will have entry-level management knowledge
and skills. Students completing the Bookkeeping I
Certificate will have entry-level bookkeeping/accounting
clerk skills. These certificates will also indicate that the
student has completed a series of courses for skill
upgrading for those already employed.
In addition to the certificates, students may also earn an
Associate of Science Degree in Business Administration.
Many of the Business Administration
Department courses are offered online via the Internet,
allowing a student to earn the Management Certificate
and/or the AS Degree through distance education. See
the current Schedule of Classes for a listing of online
classes.
Those students planning to transfer to an upper-division
institution should select their courses with the
assistance of a counselor since each transfer institution
has unique requirements.
