Program Description

The Associate of Applied Science in Business Administration is designed for those who plan to enter into the workforce upon completion of the two-year program of study. While many of the courses will transfer to other universities, it is not guaranteed. There are careers and job offerings that only require this level of education. The focus in the Applied Science program is on building the required skills needed to be successful in the workplace. If you are looking to improve your skills and get a better job, but are not interested in the commitment of a four-year college experience, the Associate of Applied Science might be the option for you.

 

SAU Tech also offers an Associate of Science in Business for those students who wish to continue their education by pursing a bachelor’s (four-year) degree. Information on the business transfer degree can be found at https://www.sautech.edu/programs-degrees/business-administration/.
