Business, Accounting and Economics

Our Business, Accounting and Economics degree programs, like business itself, are ever-evolving to keep up with the times. Whether you concentrate in accounting, marketing, management or other popular business fields, we offer flexible programs tailored to your needs.

From day or evening classes in traditional classroom settings to state-of-the-art distance learning facilities, to online course options, we make it easy for you to succeed. We even offer an online degree program in Business Administration, and classes at area high schools and businesses.

You learn business through hands-on demonstrations and experiments, individual and group projects, case studies, podcasts, and web site analysis. For example, you'll conduct blind taste tests in Intro to Business, engineer assembly lines in Principles of Microeconomics, and prepare mock courtroom arguments in Business Law. Other past projects include: marketing research/analysis for local companies, group analysis of a business ethics case, and preparing accounting records for an imaginary business.

In addition to the business knowledge you'll gain from our programs through coursework, field trips, and hands-on projects, you'll learn communication, teamwork, interpersonal, analytical, computer, leadership and problem-solving skills. Our Business Management students also complete a 100-hour field placement in a variety of businesses, including banks, hotels, hospitals, government agencies, retailers, manufacturers, and accounting firms. Many of these placements have turned into job offers upon graduation.

You may choose to join Phi Beta Lambda, a national affiliate of the Future Business Leaders of America. As a member of Phi Beta Lambda, you may attend the annual conference in Baltimore, engage in service activities, such as the March of Dimes or ACM Help for Haiti, and participate in regional competitions.

If you choose to continue your studies at a four-year college or university, you'll find that your Allegany College of Maryland business credits transfer to many schools.
