A cooperating, regionally accredited, four-year college grants the degree.

Corporations seeking sustainable competitive advantage require flexible, knowledgeable workers and a new "way" to manage.

Corporate College Services partners with corporations to "make always ready" an agile, sustainable workforce.

Human resource development is central to the Corporate College Services program. Course curriculum focuses students on fundamental management precepts, process oriented strategies, and skills development with particular emphasis on critical analysis, problem solving and people development. Adult learners appreciate real world applications and develop the knowledge, attitudes and portable skills needed to help their corporations creatively and constructively surf the challenges of ongoing change. The workplace is our learning laboratory.

A hallmark of this adult learning program is its commitment to excellence in customer service. Corporations want services that reduce employee stress - therefore, all registration, student advisement, and academic and instructional services are delivered at the work site. Learning is enhanced through supportive learning cohorts. Classes taught in fully equipped corporate classrooms, conference centers and computer labs promote interactive, experiential, and contextual methodologies. Faculty recruited from business, industry, and academia hold management positions, earned professional certification and are selected for their interest in teaching and contribution to the field.

Successful completion of four major areas of study in Leadership Development, Organization Management, Business Processes, and Business Environments (a total of 42 courses) earns an adult student a Certificate in Organizational Management and application toward the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at an accredited four year college.
