Degrees & Pathways
AAS - Associate in Applied Science
Certificates

The Business Administration curriculum introduces students to the free enterprise system, including basic knowledge of business functions and processes and an understanding of business organization and operation in today's global economy.

Course work includes business concepts such as accounting, business law, economics, management and marketing. Skills related to the application of these concepts are developed through the study of computer literacy, communication, team building and decision making.

As they develop these skills, students build a solid foundation for lifelong learning. Graduates are prepared for employment opportunities in business and industry, financial institutions and government agencies.

Business Administration students are eligible for Work-Based Learning, providing real-life work experiences where they can do the following:

  • Build their resume
  • Apply classroom instruction in the workplace
  • Develop employability and technical skills

Students also can take business classes in Wake Tech's Study Abroad program.

After earning an AAS degree at Wake Tech, students can take advantage of agreements the college has with four-year universities to transfer their credits toward a bachelor's degree.
