NMC Code 105

This program prepares students for the challenges of the ever-changing world of business. Specialized courses and liberal arts studies provide students with a foundation needed to pursue careers characterized by technology, constant change, and increasing competition.

The order in which courses are taken is not critical except where prerequisites are involved. Course substitutions may be made only with the approval of the program coordinator or the academic area chair.

Students planning to pursue a four-year degree in Business Administration should follow NMC’s degree requirements for the ASA degree and familiarize themselves with the requirements of the school of choice for their bachelor’s degree.

Students planning to enter the business world upon completion of a two-year degree should pursue an AAS degree in Business Administration.
