Companies in every industry need professionals who are good communicators and trained to organize, plan, and manage an organization. The associate degrees and certificate programs in business offered at Eastern Arizona College provide quality academic coursework, sound teaching methodologies, and state-of-the-art technologies to help you develop marketable skills that are responsive to the needs of a variety of workplaces and today's evolving business environment. You are invited to visit campus to learn more about our programs and explore which one will help you meet your goals — whether that’s transferring to a four-year bachelor’s program or building skills to take straight to the workforce.
Three of our degree programs — the Associate of Arts in Organizational Leadership, the Associate of Business in Business Administration, and the Associate of Business in Information Systems — meet the requirements for the first two years of a four-year bachelor’s program at Arizona’s public, and many other, universities. You can transfer with junior status after building a strong academic foundation in small classes at an extremely affordable tuition cost. You are encouraged to work closely with an academic adviser and consult the official transfer guide to ensure you are on the correct course to maximize course transferability.
The Associate of Applied Science in Business is a good option for those wanting to secure employment after earning a two-year degree; some courses will transfer.
Our eight fast-track certificate programs provide training in specialty areas including bookkeeping, retail, entrepreneurship, project management, technology, and office assisting.
