AACC offers the following Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees. The state of Maryland refers to the A.A.S. as a career degree, because it's intended to provide you with skills to enter the workforce. In some cases, AACC has entered into transfer agreements that allow these degrees to transfer to select colleges. A list of active agreements may be found on this website. You can also learn more about transferring from AACC to continue your education.
You’ll prepare to lead businesses in the ever-changing 21st-century economy. You’ll build your management, communications and leadership skills, with the ability to gain experience through our internship program. Your studies will give you real-world skills you can apply right now to be more successful.
The following certificate prepares students for employment and feeds into the A.A.S. degree, if desired.
You’ll enhance your managerial and communication skills, while coming to an in-depth understanding of business communications, ethics and leadership. You’ll be able to focus your studies according to your interests, whether it be global business, management or workforce diversity.
If you're interested in earning a four-year degree or higher in accounting, business, economics or entrepreneurship, you may wish to consider the following Associate of Science (A.S.) in Business Administration. This degree will prepare you to transfer to a four-year institution. Whichever path you choose - career or transfer - we strongly encourage you to meet with an advisor to structure your AACC studies to meet your individual education goals.
You’ll gain a rich background in core business skills, such as accounting, statistics and business law. You’ll also complete common general education requirements such as English, math and science, so you are well prepared to transfer to a four-year college.
If Leadership sounds appealing, but you’d like to compare it to other offerings, see if one of these is a better fit.
We’re here to help.
