Course Description

This cooperative education course is limited to students enrolled in Business AAS degree programs. Students who work or desire to work either full time or part time at jobs related to their college major (AAS Business Administration-management, marketing, entrepreneurship and AAS Accounting) are eligible for this course. Students take a career-related classroom seminar for two hours each week while working a minimum of 225 hours during the semester at a job in the area of business administration. Successful completion of the seminar and a minimum of 225 hours of work experience in any one semester entitles a student to receive four credit hours. This will be one of the last business courses that a student will take. The classroom seminar and work experience will provide a practical application of the student's academic experiences and tie the skills and competencies that the student has learned to a work experience. This course will assess the student's understanding and command of academic learning in the degree program and gauge how well the student is prepared for the work force in their specific track (management, marketing, entrepreneurial studies). MAR 101 is NOT required for Accounting A.A.S. degree program students. Offered in the Fall and Spring Semesters.
