Well-trained office professionals continue to be in demand and play an integral role in the successful operation of an organization. They work as a team with managers, professionals, and other support staff to control and manage administrative operations.

The Office Administration Certificate builds on the Microsoft Office™ Applications Specialist Certificate and focuses on specific skills that area employers consider essential.

This program requires an up-to-date version of Microsoft Office™ on a Windows computer (or a Mac with a Windows partition.) The software is available for download and is also at the campus computer labs.
