The management curriculum is designed to provide the student with the skills necessary for success as a manager in today’s demanding organizational climate. The program is of benefit to the man or woman who aspires to a mid-level or higher management position in any type of organization including business, government and service organizations. Since much of the curriculum is transferable to four-year institutions, the program not only provides readily usable management skills for the two-year student, but it also provides a base for those students who later wish to undertake more advanced study in business.
