The Career
Our homes, food, clothing, vehicles and leisure activities are the products of the skill, dedication and creativity of business professionals.

Graduates may pursue business careers in marketing, human resource management, labor relations, production management, office administration, finance, insurance, etc. Graduates may also work in hospitals, government agencies or schools.
The SUNY Niagara Approach
The associate in applied science program is for students who:
- Are unsure of their educational and/or career goals

- Are working and want to improve their opportunities for advancement
- Have a limited background in mathematics
- Are developing a background in mathematics prior to changing curriculum to the AS degree program
