The Business Technologies Department incorporates three separate curricula: Business, Administrative Office Technology and Commercial Art. All of these disciplines are fast-paced and technology-dependent. This consolidation broadens the educational opportunities for students in each area. Advertising and Marketing classes traditionally offered in the business department can now be enhanced by interaction with the design class in Commercial Art; students taking word processing classes taught in the AOT department can benefit from Desktop Publishing classes in the ARV department as well. Courses in the Entrepreneurship certificate offered in the BUS department can better prepare students in any department who plan to open their own businesses. This new concept eliminates duplication of resources, better utilizes computer labs and consolidates software applications. Technology is constantly changing; job descriptions are constantly changing. The Business Technologies Department equips its graduates with the necessary skills to meet the challenges that confront them in the business world and provides highly trained employees to meet ever-changing standards of employers.
