Students in this program concentrate their studies in areas such as computer applications, information processing, business communications, and office management. Graduates are prepared to handle the basic operations and administrative duties of the integrated electronic office. By careful selection of electives, students may be exposed to specific office environments, such as medical or legal offices.
Students interested in obtaining skills or knowledge in a particular field without committing to a full-time degree program may earn a certificate of achievement by completing three to five required courses in areas such as computer applications, business communications, or office management. Interested students should contact the Business Information Technology chairperson for more information.
