CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
The Business Administration Department is committed to offering courses to supplement majors in related or vocational areas. For Business Administration students’ general knowledge and their own lives, Business helps to promote a better understanding of an increasingly complex world and learn tools to better cope with a rapidly changing world. The Business Administration programs are stacking and latticing all of the Business Administration certificates using a model that has been developed by the consortium of colleges from Alaska, California, Texas, and Oregon. To align this program with the model, classes were divided in business essential classes and core classes.
