The Office Administration program allows students to select a specialty from a variety of career programs. In addition to a common core of office administration courses and courses specific to a student’s area of interest, each program includes courses that address the non-technical skills necessary for a staff member to become part of the office team. Further, students develop skills which allow them to pursue employment opportunities at the end of any semester of study. In addition to acquiring highly specialized skills and optional certification in specific areas, students may transfer to business programs at four-year institutions.
