Office Administration Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S)

Associate in Applied Science Degrees combine career-technical courses with general education courses not intended to transfer to bachelor degree programs, although certain courses may be accepted at some institutions. This degree prepares students for employment in the career-technical specialty area of their choice.

This curriculum is designed to provide opportunities for individuals to develop marketable skills in the areas of office procedures, interpersonal relations, office technology, office accounting, written and oral communication and computer applications to meet the demands and expanded responsibilities of today’s administrative workforce. Many office administration positions perform tasks once completed by mid-managers.

In addition to taking courses, students participate in a supervised work experience, both of which enhance their level of marketability.
