Here is your opportunity to learn new skills for career success
Currently, the Business Department offers 13 College Skills Certificates. These career certificates are designed to help students develop employment skills and provide them with recognition in the short-term while they work towards achieving their long-term goals. As students acquire knowledge and build career skills, they can earn one or more Skills Certificates.
The Core Business Preparation courses prepare students by giving
them opportunities to acquire the skills and knowledge that are
necessary for success in business. These core courses should be taken before pursuing any of the Business Career-Path certificates. No course substitutions will be permitted.
Refer to the LMC catalog and an college counselor for more information.
