After BCC… then what?

The Business Skills Certificate is designed to provide students with skills that employers view as valuable and would lead to employment.

Participation in this program will allow you to develop skills that employers are looking for now, by completing a series of courses in one year.

With proper advisement and planning, students may also be able to apply the 30 credits earned through this certificate program toward a two-year A.A.S. degree in a business program.
