However, in the second year each student will pursue his or her specialty in management.

Specialized electives may be substituted in the last two semesters of the program for courses that are marked “elective” or “business elective.”
The curriculum will include technical courses in business and industrial management, courses in related areas, general education and electives. Instruction will include both the theoretical concepts and practical applications needed for future success in business and industrial management.
Each student is urged to consult with his/her counselor and faculty advisor in planning a program and selecting electives. Courses within this curriculum may be applied to a four-year program at the discretion of the admitting institution. Upon completion of the four-semester program listed, the graduate will be awarded the Associate in Applied Science Degree in Business Technology with a major in Management.
