Business Administration (A.S.)

Business Administration (A.S.)

Overview

Penn State Greater Allegheny’s Associate degree in Business Administration is an introduction to the foundation of core aspects in business. This associate degree provides students the convenience of a degree closer to home and in classes that are smaller in size, thereby providing more individual attention. Students still learn the skills and rigor necessary to handle critical day-to-day challenges of business, develop new approaches to the design of organizations, and ultimately graduate with the ability to manage for-profit and nonprofit organizations.

The primary objective of this degree is to provide a business-oriented program with sufficient communicative and mathematical skills, social relevant course work, and specific business specialties to develop a well-rounded and knowledgeable graduate. 

Continuing your education

Upon completion of the 2-year Business Administration major, you may also choose to proceed seamlessly to our 4-year Business degree program.

What to Expect   

With this degree, students will be prepared to enter entry level positions in the business world.  

The smaller size campus also offers hands on opportunities for students to explore real-world work that helps them build a professional portfolio of experiences to share with prospective employers and future business associates.
