The Administrative Office Technology degree prepares students to work in the modern office environment as administrative office professionals and office managers.

While some of the courses in the Administrative Office Technology degree program transfer to a senior institution, this degree is not designed as a "transfer" degree, but, rather, is a career degree that prepares you for employment.
