NMC Code 573

Adding technical training to a business background has long been recognized as a powerful combination in the job market. Technicians often work with non-technical personnel such as accountants, managers, and data processors.

In order to obtain this successful combination of technical and business skills, students who have earned an Associate in Applied Science degree in a technical program may earn a second AAS degree in Technical Management Administration by completing 32 additional credits with a business emphasis.

Please note: This program is available only to students who have already completed an associate degree program in a technical area (Technical, Health, and Visual Communications programs). This program is not available to the student whose first degree is from a Business program, which includes Accounting, Business Administration, Computer Information Technology, and Culinary.
