The AAS in Organizational Management lays the foundation by introducing students to the theoretical concepts and practical applications in the fields of management. Students will explore the skill sets necessary to effectively manage a global workforce. The program is designed to prepare students to assume management-focused leadership positions at organizations in both the public and private sectors, including a church or ministry, or to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Through a curriculum that links theory with best practices, students are trained in the principles and skill of transformational leadership - leadership that translates vision into change within the team-based management environments that characterize today’s organizations. Courses concentrate on distinctly Christian approaches to managing people, and the biblical perspective of developing and supervising a business.
