Program Overview:

NCC’s ACBSP-accredited Associate in Business Management program emphasizes practical skills and real-world applications in courses like Management Fundamentals, Information Systems and Resources, Business Law, Managerial Accounting and Marketing Principles. These business management courses equip you to start your career as soon as you graduate.

If you’re interested in pursuing a four-year degree, we recommend NCC’s AA in Business Administration.



Tuition & Financial Aid

The Associate in Business Management from NCC is one of the most affordable degrees of its kind in Pennsylvania. We offer low tuition and costs so that you can maximize your investment by earning an entry-level degree to dive head-first into the workforce. As an NCC student, you’ll also be eligible for our robust financial aid resources, including one of the largest scholarship programs of any community college in the state!



What's the difference between Business Management and Business Administration at NCC?

Choose the AAS in Business Management if you plan to establish your career upon graduation. If you plan to transfer to a four-year college to complete a bachelor’s degree, we recommend the AA in Business Administration. The two business associate degrees’ requirements are similar, but the business administration degree involves more courses that mirror the first two years of a bachelor’s program, while the business management program focuses on practical skills that you can put to use right away.
