Business Administration - Mercer County Community College

Business Administration from Mercer County Community College is a Campus Associate Management degree that prepares you for a Business career. The Business Administration program is designed for the student who plans to earn a business-related baccalaureate degree at a four-year college or university. Eighty percent of graduates successfully transfer to four-year colleges. Direct transfer options accommodate transfer to many in-state and out-of-state institutions. Graduates of the program demonstrate competencies in introductory courses in accounting, business law, economics, and statistics as well as other business-related courses consistent with acceptance into junior status at a four-year college. Graduates have transferred to colleges and universities nationwide, including Rutgers University, Rider University, The College of New Jersey, Drexel University, Temple University, and New York University. Successful graduates of the program will be able to: formulate an analytical and quantitative approach to problem solving; demonstrate an understanding of the role of U.S. business in a globalized society; acquire effective business communication skills, including computer literacy; develop the foundation necessary to continue studies in fields such as economics, finance, accounting, management, marketing, and human resources; use the economic way of thinking in everyday life. Many core courses required for the Business Administration degree are offered on weekends, most in an accelerated eight-week format. Students can accelerate their degree completion by taking two eight-week courses instead of one 15-week course during a semester. Students attending weekend classes on an accelerated basis along with night and distance learning courses could potentially finish their Business Administration degree within the same time frame as a full-time traditional student. Admission to the Business Administration program requires a high school diploma or its equivalent. A strong background in mathematics is very helpful. Business Administration students who would like to pursue future studies in international business should consider the Business Administration concentration in Global Business. This option enables students to tailor their general education electives toward international topics. Since completion of this degree option demonstrates commitment to an international business specialization, students pursuing this concentration have an advantage when applying to a four-year international business program. A.S. degree coursework emphasizing the issues of a globalized world provides students with the necessary foundation to pursue further studies in international business at a four-year institution.
