Combination
Students earning an Associate of Applied Science degree (AAS) in Business Management can expect to formulate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for a successful transition to a career-sustaining position or further study in one of several business career pathways.
The Administration and Finance emphasis prepares students towards pathways of:
- Administrative Support
- Business Information
- General Management
- Human Resource Management
- Operations Management
- Accounting
- Banking Services
- Insurance
To be successful, students should be willing to improve on their communication and presentation skills to demonstrate and carry themselves with a sense of professionalism. Students develop and hone these skills through the Business Management student organization Collegiate DECA.
These careers continue to be some of the largest and highest-paying segments of the job market and job prospects continue to be good for workers who stay up-to-date on the latest developments in their field and are constantly looking for new ways to contribute to the success of their business. Faculty advisors can help assist students in the development of an appropriate program to meet the student’s career goals.
