Business Management (Degree)
This program is designed to equip students with knowledge and skills directly applicable to a career in management or supervision, as well as to update and sharpen personal management skills. It is also aimed at providing quality workforce education for positions of managerial responsibility in business and industry. In addition to providing classroom-based course work, the College works with local and area employers to provide on-the-job training experiences to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
All students are to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to a professionally oriented learning atmosphere. Each student is expected to respect the rights of others. Because students may be in contact with business professionals from outside the college, it is imperative that performance in and out of the classroom reflect the student’s desire to become a part of the business professional community. In addition to behavior, dress in the classroom should be appropriate.
Graduation Requirements: A minimum of 63 semester hours is required for graduation with an Associate of Applied Science, Business Management Degree. BUSG 2380 Cooperative Education – Business General is a capstone experience and may not be substituted. It should be taken the last semester before graduation.
