Business Administration

Students interested in pursuing a career in the business field have two degree options. If you plan to go to work after earning an associate degree, enroll in the business administration A.A.S. program. If you wish to earn a bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, economics, labor relations, management, marketing, or related business fields, enroll in the business administration A.S. program. In the A.A.S. program, you can specialize in applied management, international trade, financial services or marketing.

Online Degree

All course requirements for a degree in business administration may be completed online. The program is offered through the SUNY Learning Network (SLN). Online courses may be combined with traditional classroom-based courses. Consult with the TC3 enrollment services center for specific information.
