Business Administration

Program Narrative
Northampton's Business Administration program offers a practical way to start gaining expertise in today's competitive business world. The program is designed primarily to prepare you for transfer into a four-year institution in the fields of accounting, business, economics, finance, marketing, and business administration. The program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

To be sure that all of your credits will transfer and all your courses will be applicable to your college plan, you should select courses carefully, take advantage of Northampton's advising and counseling services, and refer often to the catalog of the college or university to which you plan to transfer.

Program Features
The program provides you with a balanced mix of liberal arts and specialized courses, a formula which will become a powerful edge in your professional growth.

This program can be completed in the day or evening, on a full-time or part-time basis. If you are entering the Business Administration or Business Management degree programs in the evening, you can generally take any required course any semester if you have the prerequisites. A few courses are not offered in the evening every semester so you may want to develop your schedule accordingly to avoid any delay in graduation.
