Online Business Degree Program

The field of business is one that is constantly changing and evolving. It’s full of emerging opportunities as well as challenges. That’s why it requires people who are driven to find solutions and make the most of economic, technological and cultural trends. From small start ups to large corporations, businesses welcome those who embrace innovation. When we developed our Business program at Carrington College® California Online, we geared it toward students that thrive on reaching the goals they set, who want to become leaders. Are you one of them?

This program is about much more than what can be learned through lectures, textbooks and online exercises. Our Business program is dedicated to helping you become proficient in applying what you learn to real-life situations. We want to help you develop what is commonly referred to as a good head for business. Because once you do, you’ll be equipped to help companies, agencies and organizations achieve and maintain success.

Our Business program will also help you acquire specific skills and talents that could be among your responsibilities, whether you are an entry-level professional or the owner of your own business. These include:

• Setting goals and deadlines
• Preparing reviews and reports
• Creating and administering budgets for equipment and supplies
• Reviewing contracts
• Human resources functions such as hiring and firing
• Designing and implementing departmental policies
• Scheduling employees and allocating resources
• Supervising facility safety and maintenance
• Communicating effectively with employees, executives and board members

Success in education, like success in business, begins with a plan

As a student working toward your Associate of Science degree in Business, you’ll be prepared for real-life business situations. The materials you need, including course syllabi, lectures and study notes will be available to you online. You’ll also have the ability to interact with your instructors via chat, email or phone. We want to make sure you get helpful answers to your questions and feedback on your assignments, so discussion between you and faculty members is greatly encouraged.

The curriculum of our online Business program emphasizes the fundamentals of sales and marketing, including the functions they serve in the business world. Another core subject that you will focus on is accounting. Here, you’ll learn how to read financial statements and how they can be used to judge the relative health of a business as well as guide decisions in the future. You’ll also explore issues ranging from project management to data security.

By gaining critical thinking, information management and communication skills, you can focus your job search on any one of a variety of entry-level positions, such as

• Business administrator
• Assistant manager
• Office manager
• Human resources assistant
• Sales representative

To help you reach your career goals, our online program also focuses on essential career development skills like resume preparation, employment searches and interview strategies.

Business professionals know that finding opportunities begins with knowing where to look

Once you graduate from our Carrington College California Online Business program, you'll be qualified to look for employment in a wide range of industries. No matter which one you choose, you can believe that there are businesses eager for candidates who know their stuff. The Occupational Employee Statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that employment of administrative service managers is expected to grow by 15% between 2010 and 2010 and that their median annual wages in May 2011 were $79,540.*
