VANCOUVER, Wash. – Clark College is hosting two information sessions for community members and prospective students to learn about the college’s new Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management program at Clark. Presentation topics include program goals, curriculum, costs, and how to enroll. The information sessions will be held Tuesday, November 1 and Thursday, November 17 at 5 p.m. in Gaiser Hall, Room 213.

The bachelor’s degree in Applied Management is a two-year, career-oriented degree that combines technical, academic, and professional management courses. The 90-credit program prepares technically skilled graduates—those with an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) or Associate in Applied Technology (AAT) degree—to enter their respective career fields with a bachelor's degree that provides the managerial knowledge and expertise to meet industry demand. Sample courses include Foundations of Management, Social Media in Business, Organizational Communication, Organizational Behavior, Operations and Logistics, and an Applied Management internship.

Clark College is now accepting applications for students interested in joining the first program cohort. The cohort is limited to 35 students, and classes will begin January 9, 2017. Courses will be offered through online and face-to-face evening formats.
