Business Program Offered Online

According to the National Center for Education statistics, "business" is the most popular field of study among U.S. degree seekers. The Bureau of Labor Marketing Information and Strategic Initiatives estimates that right now there are more than 48,000 job openings for business graduates in Michigan.

Many students choose to earn their business degree online, rather than in a traditional classroom-based setting. Kalamazoo Valley's new online associate degree program in business administration provides students with a comprehensive overview of the skills they need in organization and management, business procedures, leadership techniques and other fundamental aspects of business administration.

This flexible user-friendly online format is ideal for students who must balance their education with other commitments, such as employment and child care. The online business degree also prepares students for further educational opportunities, including transfer to a Kalamazoo Valley University Center partner – this option can be discussed with a counselor or advisor.

Current technology enables study away from home using a laptop, tablet, smartphone or other device. It's the best of both worlds at Kalamazoo Valley Community College, a convenient 24/7 educational opportunity plus face-to-face support services for learners which include access to the library, tutoring, financial aid and other counseling and advising services.

Important Information:
Must be college ready prior to starting the online business program as we do not offer transitional studies classes or pre-requisites online. If you have questions about this, please speak with a counselor or advisor regarding placement test scores.
