Administrative Management. This specialization is within their bachelor's degree program in Information Technology and Administrative Management, which we have offered since 2007.  It is particularly important because it is targeted at those who have earned a technical associate degree in any field, enabling those students to complete in two full years if they attend full time.  This provides a valuable avenue for those who have gained a two-year degree in a technical area to further their education in areas of administration, management, supervision and leadership. For many, the bachelor's degree will help them qualify for career advancement in a field in which they already have the technical expertise.
