Program Overview

Accreditation Council for Business Schools & Programs Logo ImageThe Associate of Applied Science degree is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools & Programs, 11520 W 119 St, Overland Park, KS 66213, (913) 339-9356, www.acbsp.org. The SCC Business Program was reaffirmed in 2013 for 10 years. Several instructors at SCC have received the ACBSP Teaching Excellence Award for Region 5.

SCC’s Business program offers a variety of choices in which to study and earn an associate degree, diploma, or certificate. The Associate of Applied Science degree in Business emphasizes important business concepts and real world applications. Students will have flexibility in choosing what to learn about since students are able to select many of their courses as business electives. For students not wanting to commit to a full Associate of Applied Science degree, students can choose to achieve a diploma. The Business program also offers certificates with a focus in Business, Client Relations, Entrepreneurship, and Event-Venue Operations Management. The certificates allow students the opportunity to get customized training for their individual needs by taking only 15 credit hours. The Associate of Arts degree is for students who plan to complete their first two years of a bachelor’s degree before transferring to a four-year institution.

The program is available at the Beatrice, Lincoln, and Milford campuses and online. On the Lincoln Campus, courses are offered both day and evening for flexibility. Contact the Beatrice or Milford program directors for information on scheduling at those campuses.

Students will benefit from the more than 20 years of experience the Business program has with online education. The Business program was one of the first programs at Southeast Community College to offer an entire degree online. Some courses are offered in a hybrid format, which is a blend of online and traditional classroom instruction.

A unique benefit Business students have is access to the SCC Entrepreneurship Center in Lincoln. The SCC Entrepreneurship Center is a full-service resource hub for entrepreneurs in all stages of business development. Students are able to use the SCC Entrepreneurship Center as a resource for an existing business, or as a new entrepreneur. Steve Bors, Director of SCC Entrepreneurship Center recently received the Outstanding Service Award from the Nebraska Entrepreneurship Task Force. Steve also teaches in the Business Program.

Program graduates are working in small and large companies throughout Nebraska and surrounding states. Other graduates are continuing their education.
