Students will learn to improve interpersonal communication, become leaders and motivators for employees and peers, solve problems creatively, and make effective decisions. This training may be used to develop knowledge and skills that will help students be competitive for a new job, or for job retention and advancement in a current position.

Upon successful completion of the Associate of Applied Sciences in Business, students will:

• Be able to identify, select, communicate, and implement sound and appropriate business management or logistic concepts, strategies, and best practices in the pursuit of effective and efficient business operations.
• Demonstrate an ability to critically evaluate, problem solve, make and communicate effective decisions about business or logistic situations.
• Display effective interpersonal communication, leadership, motivation, and team dynamics skills in their interactions with others.
• Communicate effectively about business management or logistic issues, including the demonstration of competence with a wide variety of electronic tools to research, analyze, manage, and present information orally and in writing.
• Consistently apply, role model, and communicate high standards of ethical judgment and behavior in the conduct of personal and business affairs.

Upon completion of this applied science associate degree program, students may continue their education and work towards a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree in a business-related field at a number of Washington State Community and Technical colleges. Those students intending to transfer to a four-year university to pursue a Bachelor of Business degree may be required to take additional courses depending on the requirements of the particular program or degree. Students who plan to transfer should meet with the program chair to plan their course selection and sequence.

Students must assess above or complete ENGL 95 and MATH 85 for many of the courses within the program, but can work on these prerequisites during their first two quarters.
