I’m not sure if I am interested in business. How can I check it out?

Great question! Enroll in BUS 101 Intro to Business during any term and explore the variety of topics related to a business program. If business is not for you, your faculty will help you explore other areas to find the perfect program to meet your needs! I have a full time job and family.

How can I fit a business degree into my hectic life?

We have many options for you! Some students complete their degree through distance education and never have to visit the campus, others attend part time, and many take a blend of face-to-face and distance ed courses. Let us help you determine the best plan for you to complete your degree with a schedule that truly works for you.

I am a new supervisor and just have time for a few courses to get started. What do you recommend?

Congratulations on your supervisor role! KCC actually offers a series of four courses that make up a “First-Line Supervisor Fundamentals” certificate so that sounds like a great place for you to start! You will complete coursework in Business Communication, Management Fundamentals, Computer Applications, and Human Relations in Organizations, and the best part is that all of those courses are part of the AAS if you decide to continue on with your education!

What is the “Retail Management Certificate” that I have heard about?

This certificate is a statewide certificate that prepares a student for a move into management in the retail or service industries. It is designed around industry needs and endorses by the Western Association of Food Chains (WAFC), so you know you are getting relevant coursework to support your career plans!

I like to get involved and meet other students. Is there a business club at KCC?

Yes, we have many student clubs at KCC and a very active business club called Phi Beta Lambda (PBL). PBL is the college version of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) that is in many of our local high schools. PBL helps to support several activities on campus each year like our annual Business Skills Academy and Etiquette Dinner, and we also focus on community service and networking opportunities. We are a competitive club and participate in state and national leadership conferences typically each year. Our current PBL President or Advisor would love to tell you more!
