Degree: Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S)
Accreditation: Association of Collegiate Business
Schools and Programs
The Management program is directed toward
three groups of students. The first group is those mature students who
are working in organizations and need to update skills in order to move
along the career track. The second group is those students who are just
starting their careers and are seeking entry-level skills. The third
group is those students in other associate's degree programs who wish to
double-major to provide themselves with the necessary people skills to
successfully manage in their career field.
In management, almost
all organizations promote team leaders and supervisors from within the
firm. Because of this fact, Management majors are very strongly
encouraged to accept entry-level jobs with potential career-track
employers while they are pursuing a degree. This allows the student to
build relevant experience and to apply management concepts and
techniques taught in the classroom while proving themselves as
candidates for full-time employment after graduation.
