School of Business - Your School of Choice

The School of Business offers one-year certificates and two-year degree programs in Accounting, Business Management, Computer Information Systems, Economics, Finance and Credit, Marketing Management, and Paralegal Studies.  We also offer two-year business degree programs, which transfer to business programs at four-year colleges and universities. 

In addition to these programs, the School of Business offers courses in business-related fields including business communication, business economics, personal finance, financial math, business calculus, business statistics, customer service technology, computer programming, and international business.

All associate degree business programs are nationally accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).  Accreditation represents the achievement of meeting high national standards established for associate degree granting business programs and facilitates transfer of credits to four-year colleges and universities.

Students have the option of increasing skills they learn in their programs by participating in the local chapter of Delta Epsilon Chi, a college division of DECA.  Members gain valuable business and leadership skills as they prepare to enter the real-life business world.
