Wor-Wic's business programs are designed to prepare individuals for
employment in a variety of positions through an associate of applied
science degree program in business management and an associate of
arts business transfer program. Two certificate options are also available,
in general business and supervisory development.
The business management degree program is designed to prepare
graduates for employment in the field of business. Organizations
need supervisors and middle managers who are knowledgeable
about organizational structure. These individuals could be self-employed
entrepreneurs establishing their own businesses or employed
in positions where they are responsible for staff or function groups
within operating organizations. This program addresses these general
and career needs with a variety of specialized courses. Some students
enroll in courses to upgrade their current job skills while others
enter this program seeking skills to obtain employment in business
occupations.
The business transfer degree program is designed for students who
want to transfer to Salisbury University, the University of Maryland
Eastern Shore or another four-year college or university and work toward
a bachelor's degree in some area of business, such as accounting,
banking, finance, economics, human resource management, marketing
or management. To ensure maximum transferability, students
should familiarize themselves with the program requirements of the
institution to which they plan to transfer.
The general business certificate option is designed for students seeking
entry-level positions in commercial, non-profit or governmental
organizations that require a broad understanding of business operations.
The foundation of business knowledge is supplemented to include
studies in communication skills and an orientation to microcomputers.
This option is also valuable for people who have an interest
in self-employment.
The supervisory development certificate option provides training for
supervisors who want to upgrade their skills or employees who want
to prepare themselves for future leadership responsibilities. Students
not presently employed can also enroll in this option to improve their
ability to obtain first-line supervisory positions.
