The Bachelor’s degree of Applied Technology in Organizational Management is designed to broaden career opportunities for students and better their chances for promotion to supervisory positions. The program provides a career ladder for students who have already completed their Associates of Applied Science coursework requirements in the areas related to Business, Health Care, Information Systems, Public Service, Professional Pilot, and most technical trades.

Program objectives include:

1. The development of leaders who can identify opportunities, demonstrate the ability to embrace change, take the in initiative to apply new technologies and the courage to empower others in the enterprise to achieve greater positive results.

2. The preparation of students for success in positions such as technology project managers, new business entrepreneurs, customer service managers, and to take other roles in small to mid-size companies that require a cross-functional understanding of business operations in a complex and challenging global economy.

Upper division organizational management course work focuses our students’ perspective of business operations, decision-making, and requires an understanding of different facets of an enterprise operation. In addition to the common body of knowledge in management, students will be introduced to information technology in enterprise management, organizational design and management, leadership, fiscal and ethical aspects of management, human resource management, and the emerging technologies required to manage in a competitive business environment.

The final two semesters require students to synthesize and apply what they have learned to project management and organizational issues in particular industries through a senior capstone seminar. Elective courses include public administration, banking, electronic commerce, entrepreneurship, international business, and the oil and gas industry.
