Business Technology
The Business Technology career ladder is competency based and focuses on the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to prepare for office positions in government or industry. The curriculum includes specialties, as well as general offerings, to broaden students’ background and to enhance employment and promotion possibilities. The Business Technology umbrella offers credentials at four levels.
• Certificates of Competence (CO) cover skills prerequisite to the career ladder program for entrylevel positions such as Receptionist, General Office
Clerk, and Virtual Office Assistant. The Medical
Office Specialist I prepares for medical assistant positions not requiring a degree. • Certificate of Achievement (CA) prepares students for the more complex roles of Administrative
Assistant, Computer Operator, Medical Secretary, or Medical Office Specialist. • Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree advances skills and provides focus in two specialty areas. The Information Processing specialty prepares for responsible positions using integrated word processing, database, and spreadsheet applications, as well as for nationally recognized office specialist certification exams. Medical Office
Specialist II prepares for work in out-patient or inpatient environments in positions that require an AAS degree, including Medical Assistant, Doctor’s Assistant, Medical Office Assistant, Clinical Assistant, and Health Unit Coordinator.
Grade C or better in each required course (excluding electives) must be attained to qualify for all certificates and degrees. Required courses completed through credit by examination with a CR grade may also be used toward Business Technology certificates and degrees.
