Program Overview

The Administrative Office Management (AOM) Program provides the career training to become an office manager, administrative assistant, legal or medical office assistant, receptionist, office clerk or office support specialist. The curriculum blends human relations and communication skills with the latest administrative office technology and procedures.

The Administrative Office Skills certificate teaches the skills needed for an entry-level position. The Medical and Legal Administration certificates equip students for the specialized office work involved in those fields. The one- year AOM certificate prepares students to upgrade their skills for job advancement or to enter into a new career. The two-year degree prepares students for positions as highly trained office managers and administrative assistants.

On completion of the program, students will have the technology, administrative and interpersonal skills-as well as the initiative, confidence and decision-making ability-to be an effective member of an office team.

The primary purpose of an Associate in Applied Science degree is to prepare students for employment. The AAS degree is not designed specifically for transfer; however, there are opportunities to apply some coursework or the whole degree to a bachelor’s degree program.
