Catalog Information

Business Division

The Business Division provides courses and programs for students who wish to transfer to a baccalaureate degree granting institution, for students who are undecided and are interested in a career option program, or for students who want a specific career program.

Transfer Students

Students need to take courses that will facilitate their transfer to the institution of their choice. Courses that would assist students who are business majors would be accounting, computers, statistics, and spreadsheets. Other business courses may also transfer to many institutions. (See the course catalog for specific degree requirements).

Career Option Students

For students interested in the business area but undecided as to what degree to pursue, career-option programs provide the flexibility these students need. Upon completion of a career-option program, a student may choose to pursue a baccalaureate degree or go directly to a chosen occupational area. Career-option programs are available in Accounting/Computing, Marketing/Management, and Professional Administrative Services (See the course catalog for specific degree requirements).

Career Students

Students who are focused on a particular occupation may choose from a variety of business career programs. These programs follow a curriculum that assists each student in developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to be successful in his/her chosen field. The Business Division’s highest priority is to assist students in reaching their individual educational goals. Each instructor is dedicated to providing the highest quality instruction to facilitate this process.

Note

Students should note the programs in the Business Division have courses that are common in more than one program. Students are afforded the opportunity to be flexible within the Business Division when looking at the wide variety of programs that are being offered.
