AA/AS in Business Administration, Management and Operations

Business Administration at Joliet Junior College is a broad two-year degree that spans several areas of business. It suits students who plan to go straight into the workforce, and the page directs would-be transfer students to the separate Business Transfer Pathway. Students study accounting and economics, legal issues, management, finance, marketing, and the use of computers at work, building the problem-solving ability employers want from office managers, production supervisors and trainers. Faculty stress that every business or non-profit values staff who understand the whole operation. Interested applicants can follow the Get Started link on the program page, and the college lists a contact person who can explain how the courses fit together and which pathway suits a given goal. The college also provides a Get Started page for newcomers, and advisors named on the program page can talk through course choices, scheduling and how this credential fits a student's longer-term plans.
