The program is designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge that can open doors to you in virtually every industry. You could use your skills in a small business or large corporate setting – all companies need business people. Your instructors will bring real world experience and practices to the classroom.

Students will work to develop skills in effective decision making, problem solving, organizing and planning. Graduates typically work in entry to mid-level management positions in retail, health care, insurance, finance, marketing and government. This accelerated program is offered partially in evenings and partially online and can be completed in just two years.
