Business management is no longer a field just for people who desire to be managers. Today, organizations are empowering all individuals, giving them more responsibility and requiring more knowledge.
Collin’s Business Management degree provides students the ability to relate with others, the skills to work in a team, the knowledge to initiate change and the experience to solve problems. Topics include basic management foundations and theories, human resources management, human relations training, financial management, and capital acquisition skills.
This degree is also excellent for people who wish to major in another field but need some business and management skills. All organizations have a business approach that requires individuals to be adept at planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the many activities that accompany a successful business venture.
The Criminal Justice specialization is designed for law enforcement officers who want to be promoted in rank but lack the sufficient transferable coursework in a related field. The program will prepare officers to be promoted into supervision/management positions. This specialization focuses more on a general academic study of criminal justice.
Through a transfer agreement, students may earn their associate of applied science (AAS) degree with a Business Management major or a specialization in Criminal Justice from Collin and transfer to The University of North Texas (UNT) and earn the bachelor of applied arts and science (BAAS) and bachelor of applied technology (BAT) degrees.
Other area universities that accept this degree include the University of Texas at Arlington, Texas A&M University-Commerce, Texas Christian University, Dallas Baptist University, Amberton University, LeTourneau University, and Northwood University.
The Project Management certificate was designed for people who work in fields where this knowledge, in addition to their primary degree-work, is required to obtain a job. The course contents were created from recommendations by members of the Project Management Institute and will provide individuals with the necessary skills in negotiation and conflict management, process planning and outcome management, and various measures of control and costing.
The Mediation certificate has been created to teach people to be certified mediators in both basic mediation and family mediation. The program will teach conflict resolution theory, mediation theory and practice, mediation process and techniques, self-awareness, and ethics. Mediation courses will meet the standards for training in Texas as established by the Texas Mediation Trainer Roundtable.
Students planning to transfer to a college or university should check with the Collin academic advisor prior to beginning this program to verify course transferability.
Career Opportunities
Every business and organization has leaders and/or people who perform leadership tasks. Therefore, this degree can apply to any field including government and public service, profit and not-for-profit.
