Business Management Technology Program

Business technology is a program providing a broad foundational study of knowledge required for entry-level positions in business management. It includes an introduction to all the functional areas of business: management, marketing, accounting and finance and a general education core. 

Where It Will Take You

The general business technology program prepares students for entry-level opportunities in business and industry. An Associate's Degree in Business Management Technology can provide you with a foundation in business principles and practices, opening up various entry-level job opportunities in the business world.  While a Bachelor's or higher degree may be required for some advanced positions, there are still many roles you can pursue with an Associate's Degree in Business Management Technology.
