Business and Management: Business Services AAS
The Business and Management – Business Services
AAS degree is offered to students seeking employment
in business and management occupations. The degree
offers emphasis areas in Accounting, Management,
or Marketing/Sales. Candidates for the Business and
Management degree must satisfactorily complete all
the requirements of the degree including a minimum
of 90 credits, 40 of which are in the General Education
Component. The General Education requirement allows
the flexibility to continue professional development later,
by applying the basic skills gained to more in-depth
study. One-year certificates are offered in Accounting,
Management and Marketing/Sales. These programs may
serve as a fast track leading to entry-level employment
or a ladder to the AAS in Business and Management.
Core Outcomes for Business and Management include:
Development of the concepts, terminology, and critical
thinking skills necessary to be effective in business.
This program focuses on the fundamental areas of business,
including management, accounting, marketing,
international business, finance, business law, economics,
and use of computers in business operations. Theory
and current trends are explored, and numerous opportunities
exist for practical application of concepts to
actual business situations. Business ethics and related
implications are addressed throughout each course.
Successful pursuit of this degree requires students to
possess collegiate skills in reading, communication,
computation, and critical thinking. To acquire that
competency, it is highly recommended that students
complete pre-collegiate courses to gain these skills in
the first terms of their program.
It is imperative that students interested in business and
management occupations work closely with their academic
advisor to create a plan that addresses their specific
career interests. Advanced training may be required
for certain occupations, and transfer degrees may be
more appropriate for students intending to further their
education beyond KCC.
Course of Study
The first year of the AAS degree program offers technical
specialty coursework and completion of prerequisites.
The second year covers a broad range of skills,
including those necessary for diversification and upward
mobility within the occupational area.
