Note: The Associate of Science degree provides a foundation in the core business areas (e.g., accounting, economics, management) as preparation for further study. The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Professional Studies degrees allow you to develop a full concentration within a business field.

The majority of students pursue B.S. degrees, particularly if they are thinking about earning a graduate degree in the future.

Even if you’re not pursuing a degree, you can take courses to prepare for college-level study, stay current in your field or improve your job skills.

Certificate programs help the student develop a concentrated set of learning and skills in a chosen area. The certificates can stand alone or be incorporated into a formal degree program.
