Note: The Associate of Science degree provides a foundation in the core business areas (e.g., accounting, economics, management) as preparation for further study. The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Professional Studies degrees allow you to develop a full concentration within a business field. The key difference between the two bachelor's degrees is that the B.S. requires more credits in the Liberal Studies component (e.g., humanities, social sciences). The majority of students pursue B.S. degrees, particularly if they are thinking about earning a graduate degree in the future.

Certificate programs help the student develop concentrated knowledge in a chosen area. The certificates can stand alone or be incorporated into a formal degree program. While requirements vary, the student will usually complete four or more courses that provide foundational and advanced learning in the topic.
