Overview

The Program - Business Management (ASAP)

The MTC Business Management Adult Student Accelerated Program (ASAP) offers a unique way for working adults to fit earning a college degree into their busy lives.  By attending class one evening per week and taking two online courses, students can earn an associate degree in Business Management.  Between weekly classes, students complete coursework online, on their own schedule.  The curriculum is taught one course at a time in an interactive, team-based learning environment. This program enables students to connect with their peers and establish a network of friends who provide support throughout the degree program.
