The Administrative Assistant Program is designed to give students the skills needed to find employment as an administrative assistant or a related position. Administrative assistants are dynamic workers whose primary job is to ensure an office runs efficiently and maintains constant professionalism. Their duties often vary based on setting and can include taking phone calls, preparing memos, maintaining databases and scheduling meetings. The coursework for the Administrative Assistant Certificate provides a general background in business operations and helps students improve their use of business software. This certificate is designed for students who are already working or who will seek work immediately after graduation. Graduates who wish to transfer and pursue a bachelor’s degree will have their transcripts evaluated by the new institution; credit will be transferred on a course-by-course basis.
