Education in the field of
general business is a solid foundation for almost any
career goal you set for yourself. Whether you intend
to work for a major corporation or start your own small
business, the skills and knowledge you gain from general
business education will serve you in good stead and
increase your earning potential when you graduate.
Consider the following statistics:
- Business/Management related degrees make up about
39 percent of all associate degrees nation- wide.
- Nationally, 27.8 percent of Associate and
vocational degree holders are in executive and
professional occupations with an even higher percentage
likely to be in adminis- trative support and other
business-related occupations.
- Persons in the areas of business,
engineering, and law earned more than those in the academic fields of
liberal arts and the social sciences.

Entrepreneurs and the small businesses that they create are a
vital part of our economy, and a proper business education is
essential to the success and survival of any small business.
Small businesses:
- provide virtually all of the net new jobs
- represent 99.7% of all employers
- employ 53% of the private work force
- provide 47% of receipts (sales)
- provide 55% of innovations
- obtain 35% of federal contract dollars
- provide 28% of all high technology jobs
- provide 51% of private sector output
Yet, the number of small business failures is much
greater than the number of successes. Proper education
and training can provide you with the edge to make your
small business succeed.
