Business Administration

What is Business Administration, and what will I learn?

Business is a diverse field that varies from personal business owners to assisting in the running or operating of an existing business. This field allows you to explore your options and see what the best fit is for you.

At Enterprise State Community College, our Business Administration and Management programs prepare you for any role in the business world that you choose. We have four degree options, from the short-term certificate to the associate degree option. Those options include the accounting realm or the management and supervision aspect. If those two aspects of the business world do not appeal to you, do not fear! You will receive preparation in human resources management, finance, and more.
