Purpose: Designed to prepare students for general management responsibilities, to enhance their current job competencies, and to increase their readiness for advancement in their business careers. In addition, the program is intended to be sufficiently broad to fulfill academic requirements for students who intend to transfer to a selected four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree, although those who do plan to transfer should consult with the intended transfer school and Inver Hills early in the program to determine the most appropriate course of action.
Program Information: The program provides for electives in both liberal arts and business. This allows students to customize their program to meet individual learning objectives and to fulfill the requirements of four-year bachelor’s degree programs at selected colleges and universities.
