Oakton College Business and Professional Services Department
The world of business offers a wide array of career paths for ambitious individuals. It’s also fast-paced and constantly changing. Success comes to those who are best able to think quickly, adapt on the fly and see the big picture.
As part of the Division of Business and Career Technologies, Oakton’s Business program can help give you the skills and knowledge to succeed in business and find a job in roles as varied as human resources, marketing, sales, management and many more. Your studies will be an investment in your career as you’ll learn the best practices and processes necessary to get the job done—whether you are working for others or as an entrepreneur. You’ll also learn theory and history to fully understand the decisions driving your industry—and take the lead and make those decisions yourself.
You’ll learn in a technology-driven classroom environment that will prepare you for the modern world. You’ll be taught by knowledgeable and experienced professionals who are as adept in real-world business situations as they are in the classroom.
Our general business administration curriculum offers courses similar to those taken by students during their first two years at a four-year college or university. If you are exploring the field of business, the Applied Business Certificate is a great place to start. If you’re planning on transferring to a four-year institution to complete your business studies before pursuing a career, you’ll pursue an associate in arts degree (and take business electives). Transfer requirements differ slightly from school to school, so you should meet with your advisor to ensure you are selecting the correct Oakton courses.
If you’re interested in earning an associate degree and then entering the workforce, explore Oakton’s career programs in your chosen major.
