Business Administration: Bachelor and Associate Degree Programs
A bachelor or associate degree in business administration from Utah Career College (UCC) demonstrates to employers that the graduate has current skills and is ready to make a positive contribution from the first day on the job. Many colleges offer business administration degrees. What makes UCC stand out? Students, graduates and their employers tell us why they value our school:
Small classes, personal attention
At UCC, you will be one of five or ten students in a classroom. Your instructor will have time to answer your questions—and will know your name. In some classes at the University of Utah and other large colleges, a student is one of several hundred in a lecture room and never actually speaks to the instructor.
Instructors with current business experience
Our business instructors are also business professionals. You will learn skills and practice strategies that are appropriate in light of current business standards, regulatory requirements and industry trends.
Programs designed by business and industry leaders
Business administration programs at UCC are designed and annually reviewed by an advisory board composed of employers, industry leaders and instructors. This is not true at any large university. We ensure you will learn skills that today’s employers are looking for.
Day, evening, online—flexible scheduling that meets your needs
What will work for you? We offer business and accounting courses during the day and in the evening, and have campuses in Layton and West Jordan (the Orem, Utah, campus opens soon). Many students fulfill requirements for the associate and bachelor’s in business administration degrees by combining on-campus and online courses. Our representative will help you develop a plan that fits your schedule.
Your associate degree will transfer smoothly to your bachelor’s program
We focus on helping students achieve career goals as efficiently as possible. An Associate in Business Administration from Utah Career College means the graduate is ready to move into the workforce in an entry-level capacity, perhaps as a sales representative, management trainee or customer service representative.
Whether you continue directly on for your four-year degree, or take a break from school before returning, coursework you completed for your associate degree will be an excellent base for a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree program.
