Business Management, Associate in Science

Courses and Requirements

The associate in science degree program in Business Management provides a core of business courses, which introduce students to a variety of subject areas within the field of business. It is designed to provide students with the general management skills needed for entry-level positions as supervisors, management or sales trainees, assistant managers or administrators. A wide choice of business electives allows students maximum flexibility in focusing their program of study. A minimum of 61 credit hours are required for graduation.

Starting in the Fall of 2014, any student enrolled in an associate degree program who is new to NECC and has no academic history at the college, must take at least one course designated as intensive in each of NECC’s six core academic skills in order to graduate. In most cases, the program’s core required courses include these intensive courses. Plan to see an advisor for more complete information about this graduation requirement.
