Associate in Applied Science
The Management Associate program provides students with basic knowledge and skills to enter or advance in management in any organization. Students will learn how management effectively coordinates resources to accomplish organizational goals. Additionally, students will learn how to plan for the future, organize a structure to work in, manage employee performance, and make effective decisions.
Upon completion of this program, students will receive an Associates of Applied Science Degree, an Advance Management Certificate, and a Certificate in a discipline or technical area that is of interest to them. This flexibility allows students in any occupational certificate programs to gain management knowledge and skills so they will be able to manage their business or a unit in a company.
The Management Associate Program has four categories of classes:
- general education classes
- technical certificate classes
- management certificate classes
- business division elective classes
Students may continue their studies at a 4-year institution.
This is a high demand, high skill and high wage program as defined by the Michigan Community College Network.
