Office Systems

Students in the Office Systems Program are prepared to work in offices. Office Systems, with its rapidly developing technology, is an exciting field of employment. The Two-year Office Systems Program offers two emphases: office information systems emphasis and legal emphasis. Sources of employment include industrial, professional and governmental offices.

Note: The Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business strongly encourages students in its business programs to study abroad. The courses marked with an asterisk are commonly taught in summer study abroad programs such as KIIS and CCSA and each fall in the Semester in Regensburg program in Germany. BPA 396: Seminar in International Business, a business elective, is frequently taught in all these settings as well as in the International Business Seminar programs over the Christmas break and in the summer. ACC 586: International Experience in Accounting is routinely offered over Spring Break as an Accounting Elective. Consult your academic advisor to determine the study abroad opportunity which best fits your needs and schedule.
