Business Administration

The Business Administration Certificate of Achievement prepares students for an entry-level business administration role in a small business. It is also an excellent way for self-made business professionals to add key formal business elements to their skill sets in business law, marketing and communication, accounting, management, human resources, and leadership. This certificate may be completed entirely online. Students planning to transfer to a university to earn a bachelor's degree should consider the Business Administration Associate of Science for Transfer degree. 

It is estimated that 10-15 students will complete this certificate annually.  

Program Review, re-formatting business ready-to-work programs to focus more on their specialty area of study rather than a broader education. The old approach maximized required units and produced immediate employment programs that were nearly identical to the transfer programs. These new concentrated programs avoid that duplicity, and offer a quicker path to the core skills required by an occupational change, career growth, or immediate placement into an entry level position.

Upon successful completion of the program,students will demonstrate an ability to: apply current management practices and information competencies to apply leadership and operational business strategies embracing diversity within the global business environment.
