Business Administration Career, A.S.*

Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Associate Degree Programs

Program Design

The Business Administration Career associate degree program prepares graduates for employment as management trainees and for entry-level positions in banks, insurance companies and governmental agencies. It is a general business program requiring students to take courses in accounting, business law, economics, management and corporate finance.

Although many courses in this program may be transferred, it is possible that some will transfer only as electives. Students planning to earn a bachelor’s degree should enroll in the Accounting and Business Administration Transfer program.

This program is of considerable benefit to employed students looking for professional development or students who hold degrees in unrelated areas and are looking for a career specialty or career change.

Note: Students should meet with a faculty advisor to plan their program of study.

Curriculum

Students may attend full- or part-time. Note: All business and accounting courses have prerequisites. All accounting courses numbered 100 or higher require students to be eligible for ENG* 101  and MAT* 095  or higher.

*Becoming Connecticut State Community College

A merger of Connecticut’s 12 community colleges is underway. As a part of this merger, modifications will be made to academic programs. Students who do not complete their programs by the end of the Spring 2023 term will be matched with the Connecticut State Community College (CT State) program that most closely aligns with ​the student’s Spring 2023 program and is offered at the current Manchester Community College location. The College is committed to students completing their education with a minimum of disruption. Further details can be found and will be updated on the Frequently Asked Questions page: www.ct.edu/ctstate/academics.

‡Select any course (3 Credits). Students interested in an Honors Capstone or Co-op experience should see a faculty advisory.
