In fall 2024, Wilmington University will launch its new associate degree program in Business Management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in business principles, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in today&#8217;s competitive job market,\u201d says <strong>Dr. Robin Weinstein<\/strong>, dean of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/business\/indexb.aspx\">College of Business<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn Essential Business Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Available 100% online or in person, WilmU&#8217;s 60-credit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/business\/business-management-associate.aspx\">AS in Business Management<\/a> emphasizes experiential learning and practical career preparation with maximum efficiency. Instructors are industry experts and active practitioners in their fields, who will help you master in-demand business skills \u2014 such as management, leadership, customer service, sales and communication. Courses include Principles of Management, Marketing and Intro to Business Analytics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe whole program is centered on career readiness,\u201d says <strong>Dr. Audrey Blume<\/strong>, program chair. \u201cOur ultimate goal is to tie business theory, or textbook learning, with the real world. And to do that, it\u2019s learning how to apply those theories to the current and the future business environment.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can earn an associate degree in Business Management in two years and qualify for a job as a customer service representative, administrative assistant, sales manager, market research analyst, product manager or actuary \u2014 with salaries ranging from $41,000 to $95,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part of a Series of Stackable Credentials&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another possibility is to build upon your associate degree and seamlessly continue your education. Using WilmU\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/dualcredit\/index.aspx\">Dual-Credit ADVANTAGE\u2122<\/a>, you can apply all 60 credits to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/business\/business.aspx\">BS in Business Management<\/a>. From there, you can accelerate into a master\u2019s program by incorporating four graduate-level courses into your bachelor\u2019s degree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This pathway allows students to progress from an AS to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/business\/mba_index.aspx\">MBA<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/business\/management-master.aspx\">MS in Management<\/a> in less time and at a reduced cost,\u201d Dr. Weinstein says. \u201cBy emphasizing practical, real-world applications and critical thinking, our graduates are well prepared to meet the demands of various industries and pursue further educational opportunities.\u201d<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Wilmington University, you can start with an associate degree in Business Management and progress all the way to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/business\/dba.aspx\">doctorate in Business Administration<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id6251_3db0fd-31{margin-top:0em;}.kb-row-layout-id6251_3db0fd-31 >
