The Applied Management program is designed to prepare students for supervisory and managerial careers. Students may ultimately manage their own small businesses or use their skills to manage existing businesses. The two-year occupational program combines academic study with work-related experience and leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree, allowing students to gain meaningful employment after only two years of college-level coursework or to transfer directly into a Bachelor of Applied Science degree. The competencies of TREX 2000 are embedded into this program to ensure students benefit from and complete the requirements of the Transition Experience prior to graduating from LCCC.
