Business AdministrationAbout Our Business Administration & International Business Programs & The Industries
In both the Business Administration and International Business areas, we offer two programs of study - the Associate of Arts Degree and a Certificate. Both paths are designed to give the student an extensive background in the principles and practices of the business world. The degree programs offer a more comprehensive curriculum than the certificate program and allow the student to transfer to a four-year university as a Junior.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunity exists in a variety of organizations including insurance companies, computer manufacturers and government agencies with salaries ranging from $24, 000 to nearly $90, 000. To prepare the student for the industry environment, our program focuses on the dynamics of international organizations, trade, language, socioeconomic and cultural forces, political and legal issues, and emerging global markets.
