Associate Degree in Business

The Romain College of Business offers one associate degree program, providing an opportunity for students to prepare themselves for productive employment in business occupations while requiring less preparation and time than a traditional bachelor’s degree program. The Associate of Science degree in business may be completed in approximately one half the time required for achievement of a bachelor’s degree.

Classes are available during both day and evening hours. Some of the credits earned in an associate degree program may be applied toward meeting bachelor’s degree requirements in other programs offered by the Romain College of Business.

An associate degree requires a minimum of 60 credit hours.

The Associate of Science degree program in business is an opportunity to gain an understanding of the functions of business as well as introductory courses in specific occupational areas in the following disciplines: accounting, administrative systems, business administration, data processing, finance, management, marketing, and administrative support systems. Course requirements are flexible enough to allow the design of a program of study tailored to fit the needs or job interests of each individual.
