You can work in a company, help a non-profit, become a teacher, start your own business, or prepare to pursue advanced degrees. We offer multiple Business degree and certificate options to help you find the right path to reach your goals.
The Associate of Arts Business option is the result of a State-wide articulation agreement between the Colorado Community College System and the four-year colleges and universities. Students completing the following 60 hours will transfer in 100 percent of their classes and start as an entering junior at the four-year school.
This degree program is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in business with a specific area of emphasis. Emphasis areas for this option include Administrative Support, Management, and Social Innovation.
This certificate program is designed to prepare students to become office professionals in positions that require skills in computer technology, communication skills, customer service, and office applications.
This certificate will allow students exposure to most of the major areas of business. Students may complete deficiencies concurrently with the beginning courses in the program.
The Management certificate program is designed for those students whose career path or occupational goal includes working in a corporate organizational structure as a manager of a particular department or functional area.
The Degree with Designation is designed for transfer to another college or university as a step toward a bachelor’s degree. For more information on transferring after PPSC, visit our transfer webpage or meet with your advisor.
