The Business Program The Business School also focuses on the development of key business skills. An AMC business degree includes working with numbers and statistical analysis, as well as generating creative ideas and solutions. In addition, students have the opportunity to 'see the big picture' relative to organizational structures while taking into consideration the goals of the group, and the raw materials or rough data, and developing plans to move projects forward. All business school students are given the tools to communicate concise written and verbal information, excel at team work, and work well under sometimes sustained pressure and deadlines. |

The Fifth Year Option
Students in their senior year may ‘jump-start’ their graduate education by enrolling in up to six (6) credits of graduate coursework, thus potentially completing their graduate degree in business in the 5th year. The Masters of Business Administration program is offered on-ground and online with multiple concentrations.
Why Get a Business Degree? A college degree in business is a highly practical area of study since the curriculum provides students with crucial real-world experience--and thus a smoother transition from college to career. Students will be advised to prepare for the constant changes in the job market. Instead of focusing all of their studies on a single high-demand field, AMC’s programs will assist them in pursuing a path that is more in line with their own interests and talents. It is difficult to predict how the employment market will change, so looking at an education as a jumping-off point rather than a definitive line to a specific job title or industry builds flexibility for our graduates.
With over one million college graduates entering the American workforce every year, employers' expectations are rising. Business is an area where education--even for established professionals--is crucial in order to remain competitive. A results-oriented business education, one which combines real-life applications with established theories, is important for our students’ success in an increasingly competitive and technologically sophisticated business world.
Career Education in Business
Whether our students study on campus or online, college courses in business administration can lead directly toward fast-track positions. A degree from the AMC School of Business develops students’ leadership skills and trains them to approach obstacles with proven methods and innovative solutions.
Bachelor's Degrees in Business
A bachelor's degree in business or business administration is generally the minimum requirement for entry-level business careers. As a graduate of our Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) program, students will be prepared to pursue a variety of career entry positions that include accounting, financial services, economics, human resources, information technology, and sales and marketing in almost any field of today’s business environment.
Master's Degrees in Business
For individuals who are already working in the business field, and who want a competitive skills advantage or are seeking advancement or a change in career, the AMC on–ground and online business administration degrees are tailored toward the needs of both working adults and recent graduates interested in AMC’s 5th year option.
