Success in the business world today requires knowledge in a broad variety of fields. To prepare students, a broad spectrum of courses are incorporated into the General Business curriculum. These studies include courses in accounting, business law, computer technology, economics, mathematics, management, and marketing. It is vital that persons interested in advancing in the business world have strong communication, interpersonal, and analytical skills. They must also be creative, highly motivated, and willing to change with the needs of the work environment.

General Business is an ideal program for those individuals interested in learning the skills necessary for running a small business. In addition, the graduate will be prepared for an entry-level position in management, marketing and retail sales.

Students planning to continue their studies at a four-year institution after completing this program will work with their advisors concerning transferability of credits.

The General Business program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

Students who complete an Associate in Business Degree with a major in General Business at OCtech can receive semester transfer credit hours of course work toward a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Management or Marketing at Claflin University.
