Welcome

The Business & Technology Department provides leadership in business education and nourishes educational opportunities by empowering our students to enter the business field either immediately upon graduation or later, as well as to transfer to a four-year institution. This is achieved by developing and maintaining relevant curricula for and about business.  

Our programs provide students with knowledge, skills and attitudes that are essential to employment.  We strive to remain accessible, affordable, and responsive to individual and community needs in each area of the Business & Technology Department, while providing students with concrete knowledge and skills to succeed in the workplace.  These areas of study constitute a community of interest that can be aligned with students’ goals, while maintaining distinct objectives unique to their disciplinary purposes.
