The Business Technology Department offers 11 programs for students desiring immediate employment or wishing to pursue a four-year degree.
Classrooms are equipped with up-to-date electronic equipment. Computer technology has been integrated into course content. Computers are networked to classrooms, faculty offices, residence halls, and the Internet.
Courses during the first year in virtually all business technologies programs are almost identical. This "core block" of courses enables students, during freshman year, to easily transfer from one program to another with no loss of academic credit. Students may enter the programs in either the fall or spring semesters.
All programs in business technologies provide graduates with maximum employment flexibility. Many graduates go on to pursue bachelor's degrees in business or business education.
All business programs are computer-based, mixing both theory and practice. Technical accounting knowledge, communication and interpersonal skills, and career-related computer literacy are stressed throughout the programs. Graduates have the option of entering the job market or pursuing a four-year degree.
Students completing virtually any Business Technology Department two-year degree may seamlessly transfer directly into our own bachelor's degree program.
