Business Administration

The Business Administration program at Lake Region State College is perfect for students with the expectation of entering a baccalaureate college or for students who plan to earn a two-year associate degree in one concentration: Accounting, Marketing, and/or Management.

Accounting Subplan

Professionals in accounting and business administration must possess the skills to process and accurately interpret large volumes of financial information. Lake Region State College's Accounting and Business Administration program combines the two closely linked fields to provide students with a broad understanding of finance, management, and marketing.

This curriculum is tailored for students seeking a two-year degree to enter the workforce or those planning to pursue a baccalaureate degree in business administration or accounting. The curriculum provides a broad background while introducing essential courses in specialized areas of study.

Management Subplan

A degree in management prepares graduates to pursue careers in fields including advertising, marketing, human resources, and finance. It prepares students for entry-level positions with supervisory potential positions in sales, finance, human resources, project management, and more.

Marketing Subplan

A marketing degree opens the door to opportunities across a wide range of industries, as nearly every business relies on marketing professionals. Career options for marketing graduates include roles in advertising, brand management, market research, and public relations. 

With this subplan, you can become an account executive, advertising assistant, media specialist, or public relations professional.

While most individuals in the marketing field hold at least an associate degree, relevant work experience can sometimes substitute for formal education. However, even entry-level positions often require a degree or certificate to get started. A bachelor's degree, in particular, can lead to higher-paying roles with greater responsibilities, such as marketing management.
