Diploma in Applied Business Technology
The program requirements, courses, course credits, and graduation requirements for this program are currently being revised.
Students may exit at diploma, certificate, or citation level. The two-year diploma program (which is currently under review) prepares students for advancement in office careers and/or for transfer into the third year of the KPU Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Entrepreneurial Leadership. The first year of this program is the Applied Business Technology certificate.
The first year of study provides students with excellent workplace skills of an intensive, practical nature. The curriculum provides a background in Business Communications, Bookkeeping Basics, Computer Competency, Office Dynamics, and Word Processing, as well as courses specific to the specialty option selected by each student. These options are Administrative Assistant and Legal Administrative Assistant. Students may exit the program at the certificate level with skills appropriate to the office workplace.
The ten additional courses required for the diploma will provide students with enhanced knowledge, skills, and attitudes for the various office workplaces they have chosen. They will be better prepared for advancement and for supervisory positions with enhanced communication skills and knowledge of management, organizational behavior, marketing, microeconomics, human resource management, project management, and administrative management. Students also have the opportunity to select from a group of optional courses. Not all courses are offered each semester or each campus.
