The Business Computer Management Program provides comprehensive training in business and computer skills which are increasing in demand in all occupations. The program combines extensive instruction on a variety of IBM-compatible personal computers with business courses in accounting, business law and others.
All areas of computer use are covered: Windows, spreadsheets, database management, word processing, programming, networks, the Internet, and graphics. Graduates are able to design, install, operate, and maintain integrated computer systems in business environments and to train others in their use. The program's software application courses prepare students for the four industry-standard Microsoft Office User certification tests (Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint), while programming courses cover material on the Microsoft Certified Professional Visual Basic test.

This dual focus of business knowledge and practical computer ability gives students a unique preparation for numerous entry-level positions in both the general business community and many rapidly expanding computer fields. Graduates are suited for virtually any business occupation as Administrative Assistant, Office Manager, Sales Representative, or Management Trainee. Computer-oriented positions include Programmer, independent or corporate Computer Consultant, Technical Support, Spreadsheet Technician, and numerous Database Management occupations.

Many applicants have little or no business background; however, many people with substantial business experience decide to enroll in the Business Computer Management Program to become computer qualified rather than simply computer 'literate'. The Business Computer Management Program is also an exceptional means for acquiring the necessary expertise for starting or maintaining a small business.

The prospective student should enjoy problem solving, communicate well with others, and have a firm interest in a business career. All applicants to the program must satisfy the general college requirements for admission and possess satisfactory high school credits in English and mathematics. Although the Business Computer Management Program can be completed in two years during the day, students may elect to attend over an extended period of time during days, evenings, or both.
