The Business Department of Alfred State College provides training and educational experience to those seeking technical knowledge in management and related disciplines in order to serve the dynamic needs of diverse constituencies in a competitive society.
Classrooms are equipped with up-to-date electronic equipment. Computer technology has been integrated into course content. Computers are networked to classrooms, faculty offices, residence halls, and the Internet.
Courses during the first year in virtually all business programs are almost identical. This “core block” of courses enables students, during freshman year, to easily transfer from one program to another with no loss of academic credit. Students may enter the programs in either the fall or spring semesters.
All programs in business provide graduates with maximum employment flexibility. Many associate graduates go on to pursue bachelor’s degrees in business or business education while many graduates of the BBA programs go on to pursue master's degrees.
All business programs are computer-based, mixing both theory and practice. Technical accounting knowledge, communication and interpersonal skills, and career-related computer literacy are stressed throughout the programs. Graduates of two-year degree programs have the option of entering the job market or pursuing a four-year or advanced degree.
Students completing virtually any Business Department two-year degree may seamlessly transfer directly into one of our own bachelor degree programs.
Students in technology management, financial planning, or sport management (BBA) programs have the advantage of participating in a semester-long, 12-credit internship during their last semester, providing them real-life experience. Many times these lead to full-time employment upon graduation.
