The Certificate of Achievement in Business Information Systems provides students with a comprehensive understand and practical experience with the major software programs in the Microsoft Office Suite.(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access and Project)
Center of Excellence study concludes that the skills and tasks taught in this certificate are identified by employers as necessary to their business, but there is a shortage of qualified candidates from which to hire. Our advisory council has requested that these skills be taught in college instead of by the employer.
Completion of this certificate will not only teach these needed skills but the student will also learn how multiple software applications can work together to fill crucial business functions and solve new business problems.
