WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM 14 UCW APRIL 8-14, 2020 EDUCATION Today's globalized economy is filled with all kinds of competition — from small businesses to large cor- porations. Members of today's work- force must be competitive, interac- tive and diverse to compete and succeed in today's global economy. Employees will be required to meet these global challenges with the skill sets needed to keep their companies successful and profitable in an ever- changing economic environment. Are you ready for the challenge? At Fayetteville Technical Community College, our business programs prepare students for a successful career in a wide range of busi- ness platforms with a variety of academic program choices to meet career and educational goals. FTCC's business programs prepare students for employment in a competitive marketplace or guide students to a bachelor's degree at a four-year college. FTCC also has numerous articulation agreements with four-year universities, allowing students to complete additional upper-level courses with the value of FTCC's affordable tuition. Business program students seeking employment in today's competitive, diverse, global marketplace upon graduation often pursue a business administration degree. The business administration degree curriculum is designed to introduce students to the various aspects of the free enterprise system. Students are provided with a fundamental knowledge of busi- ness functions and processes and an understanding of busi- ness organizations in today's challenging global economy. Course work includes busi- ness concepts, such as account- ing, business law, economics, human resources, entrepre- neurship, management and supervision, and marketing. Skills related to the application of these concepts are developed through the study of effective communications, critical thinking, collabora- tion, leadership, team-building, decision-making and computer applications. Through these skills, students will have a sound business education foundation which leads to lifelong learning and career growth opportuni- ties. Graduates are prepared for employment oppor- tunities in entrepreneurship, management, marketing, retail, sales and finance, with large or small businesses or industries. The faculty at FTCC bring real-world expertise and ideas into the classroom learning environment, regard- less if the class is face to face, online or blended educa- tional formats.
