Students in the Office Administration degree program concentrate their studies in such areas as computer applications, business communications, project management, and office administration. Graduates are prepared to handle the basic operations and administrative duties of the integrated electronic office. By careful selection of electives, students may be exposed to specific office environments, such as medical or legal offices or obtain desktop publishing and website development skills. Students interested in obtaining skills or knowledge in a particular field without committing to a full-time degree program may earn a certificate of achievement by completing three to five required courses in areas such as computer applications, business communications, or office management. SEQUENCE OF COURSES: This model is a two-year course schedule for students meeting all program requirements and deciding to pursue full-time study. Schedules will be redesigned for those requiring preparatory courses or those deciding to pursue part-time study.
