Business Administration Associate Degree

To be successful in today's increasingly complex business world, you need to have a broad understanding of how business works.

The Penn State Associate degree in Business Administration prepares students for a professional career in today's business environment. 

While Penn State's Associate in Science in Business Administration is an excellent stand-alone credential, it can be used to seamlessly transition to a bachelor's degree such as the Bachelor of Science in Business or other business-related programs at the University.

What to expect

The associate degree program in Business Administration provides an introductory foundation to core aspects of the business environment that prepares graduates for future baccalaureate study in business or for direct entry into the work place.

The primary objective of this major is to provide a business-oriented program with sufficient communicative and mathematical skills, socially relevant course work, and specific business specialties to develop a well-rounded and knowledgeable graduate.

You might like this program if...

  • You want to learn to use the latest technical business tools to perform your job duties effectively
  • You analyze and react to issues facing companies today
  • You collect and analyze data to make inferences and solve business problems
  • You need to execute effective communication strategies
