Today’s global economy offers boundless opportunities, but only for those who are prepared. When you enroll in Peninsula College’s Business Administration Program, you will begin a process of education and learning that can prepare you for immediate employment, advancement in your current job, or successful transfer to a four-year college or university. The program is designed to develop the skills necessary to be successful in a competitive job market.
The Business Administration Program offers three different degree options: Accounting, Management, and Entrepreneurship. The program also offers short-term certificates leading toward the degree options. The Washington State Workforce Training & Education Coordinating Board reports a skill gap in business, management, and sales jobs, where the jobs exceed worker supply.
