MCC-Maple Woods business degree offers two options

Students seeking a business degree, and even those who may not be seeking a degree but have an interest in business, can now choose from two options - getting out and into the workforce immediately or transferring to a four-year institution to continue their studies.

The Associate in Arts - Business degree is for students who want to continue studying at a four-year college or university in pursuit of bachelor's degree. Students who have an interest in business but have not decided on a major yet can also choose this course, as it provides all of their general education requirements and gives them a taste of what future business courses will be like, should they choose to continue.

The Associate in Applied Science - Business degree is designed for students who want to complete their degree and head straight into the workforce. Areas of emphasis include accounting, logistics management, management or office management - students will cover some general education requirements, but will devote most of their study to both focused and general business courses.

The program is headed up by business faculty Kim Luken and Jim Moes, both of whom share a passion for, not to mention a wide breadth of knowledge of, the business world. Both instructors are active in the business community - Luken heads up MCC-Maple Woods' free tax preparation efforts for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and Moes operates his own business while teaching business courses full time and serving as an advisor for the MCC-Maple Woods chapter of Phi Theta Kappa.
