Management Pathway
AAS to MBA 3+1+1

The EMCC Management Pathway

The Management Pathway is designed to train broadly competent administrators for service in a wide variety of organizations with an objective of developing future managers who are knowledgeable, adaptive, and ethical.

Students earn their Associate of Applied Science degree in either Administrative Office Technology, Business and Marketing Management Technology, Cosmetology, Forestry Technology, Barbering Hair Styling, or Funeral Services Technology from EMCC and complete many of their core courses toward a bachelor degree.

Students then transfer to The W's College of Business & Professional Studies. The Bachelor of Business Administration – Management Concentration can be completed entirely online in one year, without having to leave your current job. After completing the bachelor degree, students are encouraged to apply to The W's MBA program, completed online in one year.

This pathway can be completed all online.
