Business management is no longer a field just for people who desire to be managers. Organizations are giving all individuals within their structures more responsibility than before and requiring more knowledge of them.

Collin's Business Management degree provides students the ability to relate with others, the skills to work in teams, the knowledge to initiate change, and the experience to solve problems in the workplace. Topics include basic management philosophies and theories, human resources management, human relations training, financial management, international business, 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.

The Criminal Justice specialization is designed for law enforcement officers who want to be promoted but lack sufficient transferable coursework in related fields. The program will prepare officers for promotion into supervision/ management positions. This specialization focuses on general academic study of criminal justice.

Through transfer agreements, students may earn associate of applied science (AAS) degrees with a Business Management major or a specialization in Criminal Justice from Collin and transfer to The University of North Texas (UNT) and earn bachelor of applied arts and sciences (BAAS) degrees and bachelor of applied technology (BAT) degrees.

Students planning to transfer to colleges or universities should check with Collin academic advisors prior to beginning this program to verify course transferability. Tech Prep students who took collegiate level courses while in high school may elect to receive college credit by contacting the Global Edge Office. Petition for Tech Prep credit should be completed as soon as possible upon admission to Collin.
