Business

Students who enter the Business program will acquire skills to assist them in working with others and handling administrative responsibilities for various office positions. The program prepares students to work in professions not requiring a four-year degree.
Two certificates of proficiency serve as an introduction to the processes, etiquette, and technology required for work in an office setting. The Certificate of Proficiency in Business is a useful stepping stone toward a higher degree while the Certificate of Proficiency in Small Business Management is useful in building the professional foundation needed for starting and/or managing a small business. Both certificates also offer useful add-on skills for students majoring in other disciplines.
