Students in Business Administration with an option in Management should be interested in management positions with the desire to lead employees and teams, manage projects, organize materials, and oversee finances, to achieve an organization’s goals.
In addition to required business courses such as human resources management, marketing and organizational behavior, students will be required to take liberal arts courses normally taken in the first two years at a four-year institution.
Advanced business management courses should be taken at an institution to which the student wishes to transfer to obtain the baccalaureate degree. Students should be familiar with the requirements of the institutions to which they will transfer.
