About Our Program
Warren Buffet, Oprah Winfrey, and Bill Gates may have succeeded with hard work and a bit of luck, but they started with the basics. Those basics include accounting, management, marketing, economics, and politics in the global business market — all offered through CCD's business administration program. This program allows you to earn a number of different degrees and certificates. These programs are designed to prepare you for an entry-level position in business or to launch you from a two-year associate degree to transfer to a four-year college or university.
Here at CCD, you'll complete one of four associate degree programs, including business, management, and marketing. With core classes in public speaking, accounting, communication, and science, you’ll be on your way to not only furthering your career but also gain valuable skills other candidates will lack.
