Students
wishing to earn
an associate degree select an area of emphasis in either Business Office Technology, Administrative Assistant or Executive Assistant. Some students do not want the associate degree, so a certificate of achievement is another option for the areas mentioned above. A certificate can be earned in less time than an associate degree. The Business Office Technology degree is for those who seek work in a general business office, not necessarily as an office assistant. The Administrative Assistant curriculum is designed for students who wish to acquire the skills necessary for entry to mid-level administrative support position.
